Are your rods ready for April? Is your tip top lose or broken? Check all your guides. I can replace guides and tip tops as well as create custom crafted rods for you.

Well, it’s that time again. By all means, check out my very-out-of-date website (www.RikHall.com/rods/

I have a bunch of five foot blanks that are great for ultra-lite creeks or a medium for a young person. Custom crafted for you with the name on it, your choice of grip colour, thread colour and guide style.

I’m also fixing lots of rods that got stepped on over the winter, or the tip top came from.

I’m located in Fredericton, but am often in Miramichi.

Home from the south. Busy repairing all the guides and tip tops on the rods you stepped on last year. Busy building new ones.

And yes, I brough back some large diameter musky tip tops.

Message me for availability. Located in Fredericton.

Outdated website - lol

Just a few things to report.
Fixed a few.
Built a few.
Had some great Striper fishing with Andre Fortin on Miscou.
Off to BC to harass some salmon next week.

See you in October up on the Miramichi.

I had a fantastic time at the Miramichi Striper Cup. Thanks Allan & Peter for putting up with me.

Now I am back to finishing up rods, and repairing rods.

About repairs, if you contact me needing an eye (guide) replaced or a tip top replace, I can probably help you. If your dog closed the trunk on the rod and broke it, I recommend a good shop for buying that new rod you wanted anyway. (Or I can custom build one for you)

I’m experimenting weaving patterns using guide thread. Here’s an example of a bass I’m putting on my new ten foot high tech surf rod.

Also, a picture of the last component on Thomas’ new rod.
Cheers, tight lines.
