I was recently helping a friend move, and in the tall grass in her back yard, i found a lami nw special casting rod. (8.6) I was elated! My elation turned to despair when I got the thing home and found at least 1 foot of the rod missing from the middle of the the thing, which would explain why it was laying in the grass like so much trash. My question is, can I get a replacement upper half for this rod? It was broken off before the point where it joined the bottom half. How this occurred is beyond me , must have been drunk or stupid, or maybe both, anyways, can anyone help me with any info? It seems like too good of rod to just throw away, so any info would be appreciated. thanks in advance. nook
