All rods are flamed to a medium brown and fitted with nickel-silver reel seat hardware and ferrules. I use an agate stripping guide and black snake guides and tip tops. Guides are wrapped with 2/0 silk and tipped with 4/0 silk.
Blued hardware is no extra charge. And all rods come in a brass capped aluminum tube with a rod sack and hang tag.
Rods are guaranteed against defects in workmanship for life and carry an unconditional guarantee for one year from the purchase date. After that, repairs are quoted before they are made. If you slam it in a car door I can fix it but you will be responsible for all costs.
I don’t take deposits unless the rod is a super customized one of a kind special order. Then I may hit you up for a few bucks in advance. Repairs are done normally within a few weeks but certainly not longer than 30 days.
