I'd tossed out a Yo-Zuri Snap Bean as final "going away" cast off the ramp and the dang leader line (and apparently the rod tip) broke off and sailed into the distance. Thought it was just the leader knot popping off, but went I unloaded the car back at home I saw the Imprimi's tip section was missing at a shredded break 1" above the second guide.

Not a happy camper after that. To salvage the rod, I cut the break off as close possible to the second guide, making it the new "tip." I haven't used the shortened version yet, but will let you know how it goes.

Like you said, it's such a fun rod with how the smallest fish puts a huge bend in it. Here's to hoping it's still functional as a midget-XXUL.
Sorry to hear of your breakage.
The price of the Iprimi rods and most other JDM rods have gotten ridiculous .
My favorite rod at this time is a 5’2” Chinese rod off Amazon made by SeaSir . Best part is they’re less than $50 .
