Can I save this pole or is it dead? Broke off the top being dumb and moving to fast.
Very new to this. Just found the first place I could get some solid answers.

You can put a new tip on and have a slightly shorter faster rod but there’s no way to properly mend the blank.

You should be able to remove the tip from the broken piece with a lighter gently hearing the metal tube. Then see if it fits over what’s left of the tip, and if so affix with hot glue.
Otherwise you can get tip replacement kits on Amazon.

Your local tackle shop can fix it for <$10.

This has happened to me a couple times. Once I cut off the broken portion flush with the metal eye “tube” I then drilled it out and re-glued it on the end of my rod. Maybe this will work here.
