I went fishing the other day and somehow snapped off the last 2 or 3 inches of the end of my Echo 3wt that I've had for maybe 15 years. I lost the last guide and the tip top guide.
Sounds like more than 3" if you got the next guide on the break. The 4/5 wt repair and "reclassification" might work well. According to your post history, you do fish spinning tackle as well so this could be a conversion build. May make an interesting spinning rod if you care to put in the effort, but it does require a bit of work.
Either way, it's a good carry along for longer trips when you might want a spare outfit back at the vehicle in case of accidents on main rig.
