Repairs and rewraps

A broken rod is not a dead rod

Most of what ends up in the garage could be fishing again inside a couple of weeks. Bring it in and find out which.

What comes in

Any brand, not just ours

The bench that builds a custom rod is the same bench that fixes one. If it is a rod and it is broken, it is worth a photo and a message before you write it off.

  • Broken tips

    New tip top fitted and blended so the rod keeps its action.

  • Guide replacement

    Cracked ring or bent frame swapped and rewrapped to match the rest of the rod.

  • Full rewraps

    Every wrap stripped and laid again. A good way to bring an older rod back, or change its colours entirely.

  • Refinishing

    Tired, yellowed or chipped epoxy taken back and re-coated.

  • Grip and seat work

    Worn EVA or cork replaced, loose or corroded reel seats renewed.

  • Inherited rods

    Older and sentimental rods brought back to fishing condition rather than retired.

How to send it in

Three steps

  1. 01

    Photograph the damage

    One shot of the whole rod and one close up of the break, the guide or the wrap in question. Include the make and model if you know it.

  2. 02

    Send it over

    Message the photos through the contact form, by email, or as a DM on Instagram. You will get an estimate and a rough turnaround back.

  3. 03

    Drop it off or ship it

    Cape Coral locals can bring the rod straight to the shop. Everyone else ships it in. Ask before shipping so it gets packed the right way.

Send a photo of the break

You will get a straight answer on whether it is worth fixing, what it costs, and how long it takes.
