Riverdale, 'Sorry to hear about your rod. I would be happy to build you another one. I have a rod building business, Sensor Fishing Rods. I get all of the components at 40% off of retail and pass that savings onto my customer. I bet I can build a replacement rod for less than you paid for it orginally. I live locally and have been building rods for 30 years. Drop me a message if your interested my handle on here is BassinPLS or to my e-mail don@sensorfishingrods.com
