p.s. If you dont already own a rod case,you might want to invest in one. I’m not sure how you broke your tip. but, most breakages occur during transportation to or from where you are fishing. Fly rods can be pretty expensive and a decent rod case only costs about $30-$40. Considering a good fly rod can run upwards of $500, it seems like a small price to pay to protect something that valuable.
