I had a pole with two eyes busted and replaced them myself ( had never tried it before ) . It was easy and fun. I got the eyes, thread, and small jar of resin for like $ 6 at wholessale sports. I'm sure everyone carries them. Give it a try. Mike

Was pretty easy and rewarding doing it myself. I don't know anyone that does it. Good luck. Mike

If you do it yourself, go to Angler's Workshop in Woodland WA, or you can go to their website and they will have what you need and are helpful when it comes to this stuff. Trust me though, it won't be pretty on your first one, but it will be functional. I've built 13 rods so far and each one gets better than the last. Good luck!

I used to wrap rods in my youth, and like engelwood said; they will get better over time... :chuckle:

Fun and relaxing hobby.

I hang my flag from my pole and catch fish with my rod.  :chuckle:  Hit up one of the nearby tackle spots, they probably can point you to guys that do rod repair.  I used to wrap my own.
