Rod Repairs?

So this is the end result of my pinkie capture on Friday night. Simple question seeing as I am not that clued up on rod repairs...is this salvagable? Would it be a matter of using ferrules to join it up (perhaps just the longer section?) Perhaps the end guide could just be added back onto where the blank broke off, after tiding it up? Though I'd imagine it would affect the whippyness and action of the rod, seeing as I bought it for casting metals etc (it's an 8ftr)

Oh yeah, please don't laugh at my sloppy guide repair...it looks ugly but it turned out strong as an ox. Not bad for a noob I reckon
