Especially on such a beautiful piece of work.Built a Winston BIIx, 8 wt for a friend and his broke just about like that, Winston replaced just the section so it made easy for replacing the section for him. ..just to let you know that you aren't the only one that has happened to....



brand new tip section from a 7 1/2' 2/2 (now a 2/1) split bamboo!!! Sill puking over that one!!!
