Epoxy, and wrap the joint with carbon tow, soaked in more epoxy.

If its a hollow shaft, stick some CF rod up the middle with epoxy as well.

That would however completely ruin the "action" of the rod. (ie curve
properties)

By all accounts, they're not too good at the moment!

Quite ;-) When my husband said his couldn't be mended, it wasn't
actually that he thought it couldn't be done, rather that the rod
wouldn't be much good afterwards. I must admit I thought that if it was
usable at all it would be an improvement on the current situation! He
has since bought a new one, but I think it would be worth mending the
other one even if only for the children to practice with. Another round
tuit needed.....
