Try Shoff's in Kent. If they dont repair rods. They can turn you onto someone that will. Good luck.

I know it's off the beaten path, but Stan Schlegel in Walla Walla is the kind of guy you're looking for. He builds custom rods, and does repairs (reels also). He repaired a broken Berkeley Graphite for me and replaced a tip ($12). He does quality work, as you would expect of a custom rod builder. He might even know someone in your area.
Stan Schlegel 509-529-0876, (in the Walla Walla phone book).
Good Luck.

Linc's Tackle in Seattle. Just up from Deerborn, On 501 Rainer Ave. Best Place for the buck, In my book.

Talk to Mitch at Schoff's in Kent, he does all my rods.

Schoff's is great, I'll second that. I buy alot of my eyes and components when I'm building a rod. In fact I went down there last week with my tip section for my fenwick 9 wt fly rod to replace a snapped tiptop (luckily it wasn't the actual blank that snapped) and gave them the tip section to fit a new eye to. Not only did they get the eye, they glued it down for me free of charge.

Also, there's another good place to go that's close by. He's in Tacoma and I do believe his business name is Ron's Custom Rods. He's up off Portland. Look in the phonebook. He does really good work too. He's done a couple rebuilds on rods I didn't have time to do myself. Does great work.

thanks to all who reply'd, i jus called him and he is gonna fix my guide on the spot do that i can get into some kings tonite..honestly thanks for all the info..**Berkley boy**
