I have had the exact problem happen to one of my favorite rods in the past. What I did was ensure that the lock is grooved into the threads, and then I wrapped the broken lock with about 8-10 layers of electrical tape. I just wanted to get through a weekend of fishing, but that was two years ago, and I still use the rod-as is today. Just an idea, hope that helps.
