Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.
I have a Free Spirit Hi-‘S’ 220 13ft carp rod that has been brilliant for long-range fishing, but unfortunately the top section has broken in half.
To be hones I’m surprised and a bit worried as it happened during the cast, nothing mega, just normal cast to 120m with a solid bag (small one).
I'm looking for a genuine replacement top section to match the rod perfectly.
Has anyone:
• Got a spare top section from a Hi-‘S’ 220 (or compatible model) they’d be willing to sell?
• Successfully sourced a spare from Free Spirit recently and can share contact tips?
• Seen one for sale on eBay, Facebook groups, or elsewhere?
Any help or advice would be massively appreciated — these are fantastic rods and I’d love to get it back in action.
Thanks in advance and tight lines! 🎣

Johnson Ross Tackle can help with a new Tip Section.
A very good mate of mine had exactly the same thing happen to him on 3 separate occasions with the Hi-S 220’s. Needless to say he has now moved them on.

The 200s are supposed to be a lot more robust

This also happened to my mates HI- S just during a normal cast not a hefty hoof. He went to Free Spirit and bought another top section

Happened twice with my free spirit spod rod.
They replaced the first one for nothing and second one was £100.
Completely not my fault on either..
I was going to buy free spirit rods but bought Harrisons instead..
