We do all minor and major repairs on split cane rods.

Refinishing:

  • Strip off the old varnish
  • Straighten all sections
  • Rewrap all guides, ferrules, and intermediate wraps
  • Apply three coats of finish to all sections

Price usually runs around $150.00

Restoration:

    Doing a restoration on a split cane rod is more involved than refinishing a rod.

  • The complete rod is stripped of all varnish and guides.
  • The Ferrules are also removed if they need to be reset and glued.
  • All sections are straightened and checked for any damage or defects
    and repaired as needed.
  • Guides are refinished or replaced with hand made duplicate guides.
  • The guides are installed and all silk wrappings are installed, using the same
    silk thread that was used originally.
  • The reel seat and grip are also restored
    to original condition or a duplicate seat and grip are made and installed.
  • All sections are varnished with three coats of spar varnish.

Price usually runs from $300.00 to $800.00

    We can handle most any repair in our shop.

  • We can replace missing or damaged guides.
  • Duplicate missing or damaged ferrules.
  • We can repair or duplicate most reel seats or grips.
  • We repair loose fitting ferrules by nickel plating the male slide
