My experience of after sales service with Wychwood was awful.

Unless it was a warranty failure within the prescribed period they were simply not interested, I will avoid their products in future because of this.

Good luck, hope you have better results than I did.

I have repaired many, many breaks in rods with good success (for other anglers, I don't break all my rods :wh).

I sleeve the broken section inside and out + whipping and epoxy. This is not perfect as there will be an obvious flat spot, but far better than chucking the rod in the bin and it will always do as a backup/spare rod.

Try to replace the rod through the manufacturer, then repair the old one, nothing lost. If you can find someone nearby to do it.
