Evening folks-
My grandpa recently gave me one of his old fishing rods. It appears to be an old bamboo, octagonal rod. From googling it I think it’s a nippon fishing tackle rod. It’s in pretty rough shape, missing a few eyes and the varnish is peeling. I’d love to get it touched up and hang it on the wall. Does anyone know where I could get this done? I found a guy on the east coast but would like to keep it local. Thanks for your time.

This guy is in Lake Stevens.

I have, Greg is the owner and he knows his stuff. His shop is located in downtown Lake Stevens.

Greg has a pretty good reputation from what I've heard also.

Another vote for Greg’s- they fixed up a rod for me this year and is was very nicely done.

Thanks for all the replies folks! Dropped grandpas old rod off this morning at Greg’s, can’t wait to pick it up!

Good luck on grandpas old fishing rod restoration Barbarossa13.
Not meaning to thread jack but Im on a similar subject. I have two Tica fishing rods. One has a broken tip. Another needs a guide replaced. I know i have not had good luck with these poles. Both are almost new but dont want to deal with warantee so looking for a rod repair guy in Pierce or Thurston county. Any thoughts anyone? Thank for the help
