RichF Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Does anybody know of a good place to get rod guides re-wrapped near the DC metro area? Or somewhat close by. Thanks! Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted January 30, 2017 Super User Posted January 30, 2017 I've looked a couple times in years past without success. However, there was a builder at the Dale City Fishing Flea Market last year. Can't recall the name. But, the flea market is this coming Saturday and maybe he'll be back. www.bassfishingfleamarket.com/ Quote

Super User Choporoz Posted January 30, 2017 Super User Posted January 30, 2017 My only advice is to get there early! Good deals don't last. But, on the other hand, there'll be plenty of less than good deals available right up until the end. The value to me is more in the meet and greet. Quote

Looking for a couple of spinning set ups. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted January 30, 2017 Super User Posted January 30, 2017 It really is a flea market. Impossible to project what we'll find based on previous years. Some old...some new....most of the sellers have a good idea of their value, so few steals....but some deals, for sure. I'd guess there were about 40 to 60 tables there last year. Only one rod builder that I recall...lots of guys with used rods....couple jig makers, lots of old plastics and crank baits...quite a few reels that would look just as appropriate in a trash can as next to a 'For Sale' sign....complete range of 'stuff'.

Super User Sam Posted January 31, 2017 Super User Posted January 31, 2017 Wayne Knabe in Powhatan works on rods and reels and does beautiful work. About two and a half hours from NOVA if you can get out of the DC area on I-95. Wayne will repair your rods while you are there. But you need a GPS to find his place and be ready to do a flip and go back to find his driveway. Everyone does it at least one time. Give Wayne a call. Tell him Sam sent you. And consider a fun ride to Powhatan County to meet Wayne. 804.239.6751 Good luck. Sam Quote
