Jim, I have found that customer service has gone down the drain lately with alot of retail stores,and many other businesses that are customer related and especially the doctors offices. Economy maybe! I am usually quick to tell someone about poor service. I then got to thinking I need to express where I get good service. I usually tell the person I am dealing with and their manager if possible. I figure if you let them know they are doing a...

Customer service

Jim, When I first started building rods in the late 70's and had a business license, I used to order from Angler's Workshop. Jim Britt, the owner was just starting his business and would even call me to let me know of a sale or a good price on rod blanks at the time. Good people to do business with. The same goes for FTU. I had a customer going to Belize and wanted a fly rod made on short notice. I talked to Danny Myers of FTU and he...

I should do that some day too although since I am retired from the commercial end of things I guess it probably isnt as necessary. Just me thinking out loud again.

Very nice Derod. It sure makes it extra special to catch fish on a rod that you have built for yourself. I need to break one so I can build another for myself. I am trying to limit myself on personal rods and it is hard to do. Pat

I just made an order from Lance and got a few sets of micro guides and some of his new high modulus rods. I am excited to see this rod and build a few. Lance said the raw blank weight is 1.5oz. Will post up when done. Jerry, thanks again for some great advice and telling me about Lance. Very nice and easy to deal with.

I have a few hundred blanks (all 8-10yrs old) from UL to heavy 11' surf blanks (no harringtons, hate em). I also have a jillion old ambassadeur reels I'd consider trading. Will have pictures of all the reels up soon. I'll try getting a list of the blanks up too but I have to dig them out ...
