I have sent dozens of rods back to sage over the years - there is now a cost (used to be free) and a bit of a wait but well worth it and personally the only way I would go about such a repair - it will come back good as new.
If you are in a time crunch and you can provide either collateral or proof that you are not going to run away with it I can probably loan you a sage 8wt - I have a few kicking around here (calgary)
Cheers
