Need Orvis TLS 9 wt tip section

[melk]

Okay, I know this is a VERY long shot. Does anyone have the tip section to an Orvis Trident TLS, 9', 9 wt Tip Flex 9.5 that I could purchase? I went to try it out on the lawn with some new line, never having cast it before and I snapped the top 6" or so of the tip section. One cast and it broke!
Thanks for any help.

Take it to your local Orvis store. They are very good about warrantee repairs.

Thanks Ted. I emailed Orvis and they said "send it in". If I am lucky it is less than 25 years old. If I'm not, I'm looking!

I just investigated the manufacture dates for the Trident rods. They stopped making the TL in 2002, so your TLS should be newer than that. Easily less than 20 years, so you should not have a warranty expiration issue.
