So I have a customer Mike Norton who is an awesome person get referred to me. Mike brought me a 35 year old Scott 9ft 2pc 9wt custom rod that was a wee bit beat up,,that was built by a bit of a legend. The original builder is named Mark Bauchmann. Mike wanted me to strip AND rebuild this rod as a tribute to his mentor and very good friend Mark who is 80 years old now and about to embark on a possible final fishing trip. I am proud to say that this rod came out absolutely amazing and his eyes when he took delivery of it was priceless. I certainly hope that Mark, the original builder is as surprised as you were. It was great to spend the time we spent just talking and I must say that you are a good friend to have. I sincerely appreciate you and your business.

OMG. Yes I did it again,, this time for a veteran Brandon Thomas and his daughter Arisa (who is 3). I don't suppose you have to wonder why I do it. These pictures speak volumes. Thank you Brandon for the pleasure of meeting you both and allowing me to do this for Arisa. This is another rod I built and donated. Just look at her excitement. 😃 😊.

I do love what I do.

I did a thing. I decided 2023 is going to be a bit different. I have chosen to randomly pick kids from my profile as well as our fishing page to donate a custom rod to. This is Nick Porter and his sone Hunter. Thank you for letting me do this for him. Look at the smile. This is why I do what I do. 😃

It has been a rough year as I am sure it has been for many others. We would like to wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of our friends,family and to our customers. I have a few different plans for 2023. 1 of them includes posting alot more. This year I haven't had alot of shop time due to unforseen circumstances which have been gratefully overcome. Shoulder surgery shut me down for a few months as well. This will be a better year for us all. I will however post what has been done in the next few days. Thank you for being here. Out with 2022 and in with 2023.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know that due to some issues Kent has been forced to take a short hiatus from building/repairing rods. He will be back in the shop going full force at the latest sometime in November after getting everything taken care of, PT, healing. Looks forward to being back at it soon.

Thank you!
