advice on 6500 ct chrome rocket

[rustik]

during an uneventful days fishing,my rod stand blew over in a big gust of wind, rod was ok thankfully but the reel foot that sits in reel seat had snapped its weld on 1 of the bars. i was wondering if it could be welded back on or if im going to have to get a new cage. cheers russ

I'd get a new cage tbh mate, but i'm sure the old cage would be repairable but it could be twisted off the knock
