I have a 9' 2 pc 5 wt Lamiglas Esprit Graphite rod that a friend gave me about 10 years ago. Because I have a couple of Sage rods I just haven't used it but my son wants to start fly fishing and I think it would not be a bad rod for him. When I pulled it out the other day I found the end of the butt section that holds the bottom of the reel foot has broken off somewhere along the way and the hood that holds the top of the reel foot is also missing. I took it to Jimmy's to see if he has any parts and we found an inexpensive butt section that would work but I would have to take the whole butt section off and replace it, which I'm willing to do if necessary. However, it would be much simpler if I could just find a larger hood and end piece (the diameter of the existing butt section is bigger than the newer ones). I couldn't find anything but blanks on the Lamiglas web site. Any suggestions where I might find such parts?
