Works great and no noticeable change in the action.

Actually last rod I broke was an expensive rod. I was not going to fix ,as I've had bad luck using a repaired rod. (as in I lost a big fish when it broke again).A friend took it and had it repaired for $15. I made him give it to his grandson. Told him he couldn't keep it or I would throw it instead. Anyway, after it was fixed I found out it had a lifetime replacement warranty. I could have just sent it in. Oh well, the kid loves it and it works great.
