New rod builds and repairs

Well as a side hobby (sick fascination my wife says) is rod building. She doesn’t seem to complain much when beaching a solid 6lb rainbow on one of the custom builds…..

I don’t hold many blanks but I can source them, so I can build many types. From heavy 37kg bent butt game rods and the most delicate 2wt 7ft stream fly rod. However my go to is the 5wt 9’6”. Very versatile for my style of fly fishing, but everyone has their own opinion’s and happy to work up what ever you want. Just note, with multiple commitments my turnaround times can be upwards of 3-4 months from order to dispatch.

I also enjoy refurbishments of older fly rods as many people disliked the snappy action of the new rods are these days. When it comes to it some people just love their rod, hand to put their old favourite to rest, so it’s used till it is literally falling to pieces. Lucky for you we can offer a rebuild service. It can be a full strip down to just re wrapping the guilds. We do our very best to try keep it as original as the day you brought it.

We also run a lot of rod repairs. Especially fly rods. If you have broken a section, no it’s not repairable, well you can but it will never really have the best action. I do a heap of tips and guides, and surprising how many loose reel seats I come across.
