SD rod repair suggestions? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

what kind of rod? I have never tried but fixing a reel seat with a cracked hood may not be possible. reel seats are always put on from the top down and usually don't slide off the back. I have replaced a rear grip without re-wrapping. If the blank doesn't have too much taper in the butt end you get a slightly larger seat on the rod. Hypalon is easy to match. Cork will be harder. If it was me, and I understand the issue (cracked hood), I might leave the reel seat alone and just use a reel clamp.
