In Need of a Builder
In Need of a Builder
I have a rod that I need to have an eye replaced on. It is a megabass rod and I would like to get everything to match with the remaining eyes. It is not a huge job and I know most of you guys have your hands full, but if someone wants to take on the job, it could lead to bigger and better things. Thanks. Just send me a PM and I will give you specifics.

Re: In Need of a Builder
For a job as small as replacing an eye, shipping is going to kill you. Matt (Mattman) at Otterrods could certainly do a perfect match.
Have you checked locally with some builders in your area? Most guys that build rods as a business can do a excellent job matching parts and thread wraps.
For a complete build or a serious repair, I will always use Matt, but for a busted guide or an "at the tip break" I use a local guy I found if only to save on the shipping, insurance and risk of damage or destruction when sending the rods through a common carrier.

There are a couple guys close, but to say I trust them enough with my Brigandage would be a stretch. Yeah I know shipping will be a bear, but for this rod I am okay with that. Matt pm'd me and I have sent some pics to him.

If you print a label through paypal shipping should be around $15-20. Varies with insurance.
