I used to build Bamboo fly rods and graphite Walleye rods, putting a new eyelet on is no big deal. The bigger trick is going to be getting the two pieces apart. Is the rod graphite? glass or? Graphite does not react well to high levels of twist stress, they are best taken apart with a straight pull if at all possible. If you get any cracking in the graphite the rod it pretty much toast. First step, have you tried the behind the knees method. Second step, have you put the stuck section in the freezer or otherwise cooled it a lot. Last option, and only as a very last resort if everything else has failed, have you tried sitting the joint in Kroil for a few hours.
