The best way would be to replace the whole section.
Barring that you need to find a piece of fiberglass (not graphite) rod of about 2inches that would fit tight inside the break
Check the fit, then cut the piece to size. Epoxy the bottom end and slip it into the section from the fat side and pull it up tight.
Then epoxy the top end of the fiberglass and fit the broken sections together
That whole area will need to be wrapped with thread to strengthen and coated with rod finish
It's not as hard as you'd think and the rod will be as good as new
I've fixed a couple of my rods this way and you wouldn't know the difference

The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
