Cole:<br>I think your going to have problems trying to put the piece back on. If you do, that area will be a weak spot and may break when reeling in a fish.<br>If the warrenty won't replace it you could try to make the pole 5" - 6" shorter. The eyes will be off, so you may need to shift them down. Maybe a tackle shop can do that for you.<br>good luck. <br><br>
