Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 8, 2010 Super User Posted January 8, 2010 Try Andy at Extreme on Lantana & Congress. X2 Also, go to Tuppens on Dixie and 10th Avenue in Lake Worth. Ask them for the guys phone number who does their rod repair work. His name is Mike Petrikus (sp). I use to build rods with him when he owned his own shop. The guy does some great work and unbelievable custom wraps. I have lost contact with Mike but Tuppens would be a good starting point for locating him. He could wrap some beautiful wraps (not stickers) to include the American flag and a variety of fish. Quote
