Title: Hook, Line, and Sinker? Closed???
Post by: Kola16 on April 02, 2013, 08:03:02 PM: I went to hook line and sinker today to see if I could get my trout rod fixed, and the store was empty :yike: Did it shut down, or move again, or what :dunno:

And does John's Sporting Goods repair rods :dunno:

Cool, I may check him out. It is just that John's is right down the street from my school :chuckle: I don't know if it even can be fixed. It is broke about 8ish inches from the tip, and it is just a trout rod :( I loved that rod though so it would be nice to have it doctored up.

That's what I was thinking :( It is about 11-12 inches from the tip so..... ya :P I may just have to get a new rod because I bought this rod like..........8ish years ago :dunno: I will have something figured out.

Maybe he can do it

Post by: Kola16 on April 03, 2013, 09:40:06 PM: Well after googling my rod...it is only about a 25 dollar rod so......... :chuckle: I'll just buy a new rod for that.

Thanks for all the help though guys :tup: I break a few rods so I will probably be visiting a few eventually :chuckle:

Post by: Bullkllr on April 03, 2013, 09:53:58 PM: Cool. Glad you found a solution.

Last time I found a trout rod I really liked for a reasonable price I ended up buying 5 of 'em- figured I/my kids would break 'em and I'd have a couple spares. Of course we haven't broken any...yet.

Post by: Hermit on April 05, 2013, 09:41:35 PM: I stumbled into the store on it's last day......... Everything was like 50% off. I ran to the bank and dropped 400 bucks on...... stuff. The owner said he was looking to open a store in a better location sometime in the future.
