Broke rod, can I replace it with another rod's top half?
Hello, I have this rod -- Major Craft NANO Speedstyle SSS-S682L/SFS. I had real bad luck with it, makes me wonder if it was defective. However, it had the smallest tip end I have ever seen (but I have never seen a JDM rod before this) and it is a hollow tube tip. Got broken somehow and I certainly didn't abuse it because it cost a lot (for me). I got it fixed and it broke in same place. Then, I had the rod repair guy just put a tip on. The rod broke farther down when I caught the first fish, a big bream. None of my other rods have any problems with these big coppernose bream. Whatever, I don't see a future in repairing it again, lol. I was told this rod is out of production. So, buying the top half, the upper section on this 2-piece, isn't possible. What about combining it with a different model top half; could that work? Other than just throwing this rod away. If so, where could I get a top half? Could a Japanese seller understand English to know what I seek?
