I was presented with a multigenerational fly rod that had seen better days. When life happens, some items are pushed aside, stored or forgotten about. This fly rod spent many years in a wet basement. This relic was handed down over the years, and those memories were reinforced when my client found it after cleaning out a home. When I got the rod in my shop and disassembled, I had doubts about whether it could be salvaged. But through a lot of hard work, I was able to get it back in working order. With little effort, this smooth, progressive rod threw a line a country mile. When presented with this restored precision tool, the look on my client’s face was worth all of the effort.
