Just a reminder, that now is a good time to check your rod collection for any that may need repair or some TLC. These customers were certainly thinking ahead, so that they are prepared for open water fishing coming soon.

Refurbishing completed to an old vintage 2pc 6'-6" composite spinning rod that belonged to this customer's father. He asked if I could refurbish it as close to original as possible so it could remain in his family collection. Problem solved!

A return customer asked to have some TLC done to his 3rd rod, which included a complete handle rebuild with custom cork grips, Fuji reel seat and some refinishing to some areas of epoxy to bring a newer look to an older St Croix 1pc 7'-1" MHF spinning rod. Now he's ready for some Walleye fishing on Lake Erie this spring.

Here is a recent handle rebuild to a nice older Fenwick World Class 2pc 7'-0" spinning rod. As you can see, it likely sat unused in a customer's stash for a long time. This Canadian Made rod deserved to be fished once again, but needed a complete new handle assembly to make that happen.

A recent completed request to change a split grip handle on a St Croix Legend Tourney Musky casting rod to a full cork handle with an 8 inch extension. This customer wanted to be able to cast his big Musky baits with ease and less pain at the end of his day. I think he will be happy with this change in leverage.
