Wanted 1/2 of a Shimano rod

[lineman49]

  Looking for the bottom 1/2 (butt end) of a  Shimano  Triton Down rigger rod ;  TDR-1802;  8ft. rod ;   line =  8- 17 # ;   medium action.    Mine broke just below where the upper 1/2 slides into the lower 1/2.  I know these are old rods but thought someone might have  one laying around.    Thanks

We probably have one of those in the basement. Where are you located?

   Live in Buffalo area. I just e-mailed Shimano to see if they can do anything, I'll wait to see.    Gator, Do you have one for sure?  Thanks

  No luck with Shimano, they only warranty for a yr. & this rod is older.

I have a butt section that lacks a ceramic insert on the second guide up, nearest the ferrule. The top section is broken, so it's useless to us. Just needs a new guide wrapped on. The 1802 rods were relatively cheap to begin with, good rods, but not expensive, so I don't know how much hassle you want to go through to get this thing. It's yours if you want it. We're out of Sandy Creek halfway between Rochester and the Oak. 

 

You might be better off just replacing the whole rod, especially if nobody local comes through with a butt for you. You can pm me if you want.
