I'd take some heavy thread, (IE: jeans), and wrap it tightly to hold the plastic nut closed, similar to wrapping guides, then hit it with thinned epoxy to soak through and bind everything together. Uncoated kevlar fishing line like would be stronger, and probably work better.
I have repaired a couple rods with broken real seats and was able to strip everything off the butt end of the rod and build it back up from the butt end. These were musky/striper rods that I really liked, but I wouldn't have gone through that amount of work for an inexpensive rod.
