Broken Rod, Good For Anything?

[FishFinder]

I have a broken shakespear catera 10'6 float rod. It is broken in two pieces as you can see, Is it any good for maybe making an ice rod, i have no experience in making rods but any suggestions would be apprechiated.

I would hate to throw it away...

Oh heck ya, the main section might be a bit stiff, but you could still use it for lake trout jigging if you have them nearby, and the 2nd section would work fine for a lot of other fish if you put a cork handle and rod seat on it. Might not be too sensitive for some species, but would work.

You can call the maker and see if they have a replacement policy.

....Totally useless, best send it to me for proper disposal.

you can always make a fly rod out of it like this one:

I love the fly rod! Gonna make me one.

 

But we use the handle ends for ice fishing.

 

I just attached a piece of graphite on the tip of a broken rod when a pencil wasn't long enough in my hubby's workshop.

Cat fishing (feline variety) add catnip toy to end and have fun.

 

House plant stake, for the tall varieties.

 

Add a dust mop and you have a spider web duster for those hard to reach places.
