Can't find anything at all online. Does anyone know of any individuals or shops that repair rods in the Seattle metro area?

Thanks much

I had these guys do a rod guide repair for me, but that was quite a few years ago.  Looks like they are still in business.  I was satisfied with their work and price at the time.

and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."

Huh, I had no idea they did rod repair. I stopped in their once last year and thought i'd walked into a historical fishing museum. The old timer owner was a pleasure to chat with and taught me quite a bit about fishing traditions in the Sound. The pictures on the wall of fish caught in downtown Seattle decades ago were pretty cool to look at but the inventory seemed, to be frank, like it belonged in a museum.

I'll give him a call tomorrow and see.

The only other option is some guy in Eatonville, but these aren't high-quality rods or complex repairs (just a few popped eyelets) that would be worth the shipping costs.

Thanks much

Try Outdoor Emporium. I think they do repairs. I know their sister shop in Fife does guide replacements
As of July 12th, I am, officially,  retired.

Don't ship to Eatonville if it comes to it. I can replace guides and could meet you somewhere in the middle.  I'm in Tacoma.
