If all else failsremo, use your orphan tip section to make an ice rod.
I did just that by cutting the butt section of a junk spinning rod off a bit above the cork grip. The fly rod tip just fit inside the old spinning rod, and a dab of epoxy is all I needed to have a great ice rod.
I cut the old rod a tad short. In hindsight, I should have kept the hook keeper. Wasn't thinking when I sliced just below it.
