I use a similar fix if the break is in a larger diameter part of the rod. I take the rod pieces, tape them together sideways with one section guides up and the other section guides down. Sand a bevel by placing sandpaper on a flat surface and rubbing the two sections together at an angle to get a beveled joint. When assembled the two pieces fit perfectly. Then, instead of a single wire, I use three pieces of stiff wire from hobby shops that will fit within the rod pieces forming a triangle. Epoxy is put around these just as in this video and on the beveled joint. Slide the pieces together. I then wrap the joint with thread just as putting guides on the rod, coating the thread with epoxy or uv resin. I haven't noticed any discernable difference in rod action and I"ve repaired both spinning rods and fly rods with this method. A single wire works fine in the smaller diameters such as in this video.
Good Job 🙏
THANKS
