South Sound rod guide repair?
Anybody know of anyone who does a good job of replacing guides on lamiglas rods. I have a 9' 15-30lb line weight Certified Pro that needs the bottom guide replaced. The ceramic in the guide cracked and i would like it replaced asap as this is my jigging rod for Salmon.

I'd be willing to bet these guys could fix you up. Fedex it to them and take a nice drive and pick it up.

I just talked to Don yesterday. I have 2 rods that I am going to have him work on. He works, so rods are part time. His shop is in North Tacoma.

Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Hey, not to hijack this thread.... but can anyone recommend someone in Seattle or Bellevue area for the same thing?
I don't want to do it myself, i want to take it to someone. Thanks

Lincs Takle and Honda in Seattle. Ask for Maria.She has rebuilt many of my rods.They are on Rainier Ave. So and south Main St. Tell them Ralph recomended you to them. I work 2 blocks away from them. They also have great froz herring and lot of crawlers. They are my Mecca for fishing gear.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

Don has rod building classes. You might take a class or two and find out how easy it is to fix your own rods. I took a series of classes up in Everett and really enjoyed myself along with learning to build $500.00 rods for less than $200.00. You might ask Don when you contact him. Good luck...Steve

Try ... http://www.gregscustomrods.com/ 425 335 1391 Greg makes 1st class rods and also carries parts for rods and if wanted he will give classes. Greg is well known in the rod building field. You will be very happy. Good Luck, SteveThe Quadfather wrote:Hey, not to hijack this thread.... but can anyone recommend someone in Seattle or Bellevue area for the same thing?
