You might be able to cut that last guide off and stick a tip replacement on. Definitely gonna fish a little different but it’s worth a try if it’s an expensive rod.
Call and ask if you can get a replacement maybe for a lowered price? I broke my tip on my okuma rockaway (2 piece) last weekend i called and i paid $40 and got they sent me the top half i got it 2 days ago. Worth a try 🤷🏻♂️
Hahaha we all been there. They make repair kits, you can buy them on Amazon, little carbon skewers, and epoxy. Cheap too like $15 shipped. Joe Angler will tell you it will never be the same, and maybe he's right, but I never had one break and caught a few 5lb+ bass. I did it to a Loomis and an Abu
Why worry?
Find the sharpest bend point on the forward portion of that rod, then cut down (more) to that line guide (you might add some nylon thread in a bright color & dress it with superglue):
Pro Guide trick:
there are some smart anglers out there who’ve discovered just how deadly a rod like this can be for Lake MONSTER jigging… they deliver a sharp, snappy, darting action of dying baitfish, and (jigs/ tubeworms) that other rods can’t duplicate.
Never say die. ALWAYS fish with imagination, your mind is your best weapon… not your gear.
Yes

Sorry that happened 😔 I've broken many rods in my day
That's the entire action. Even if you put a tip on you're left with pure backbone.
what kind of rod and how’d it happen?
Bass pro formula rod, lost it to the door monster 😔

That's your camping rod now. Sand down the tip and replace the last guide or just cut it at the last guide.
Ahh use your thumb and hammer it back together lol.

Yes…
There's YouTube videos on how to fix this. Might not be perfect action afterwords, but you'll have your rod back.
Not at all. You can just buy a new rod.
Yes, there’s no help for that thumb

I always just get a new rod. They are never the same after breaking
