Sad day folks... My one and only Loomis rod (1025C) was broken on the Lyre River on Saturday. I would have liked to say fighting a steelhead but it was a "big" Chum salmon, not abusing it, just trying to beach the thing and get my lure back.

I bought that rod brand new about 2 years ago, no receipts. Should I take her out back and bury it or attempt to get it fixed? The butt section is okay, the top section at the joint is where it fractured.

Is there a cheaper rod that equals a Loomis? Confused and at a lost on what to do.

Appreciate any advise. <><
