Repairing a broken bamboo fly rod.
Please understand that, while we list some prices for some common repair and restoration services when completed on an individual basis, we think that a full price list is unreasonable. Comparing your fly rod to a list of repair prices, you will notice that things add up fast, often too fast to be practical. Therefore, when we physically inspect a fly rod for repair or restoration, we add up our fees for all work that needs to be completed, and then start reducing the price until it sounds reasonable to us. We feel that if it were not for that type of policy, old bamboo fly rods would most certainly not be put back into service, which would be a failure of our mission.

While we give every bamboo fly rod, that comes into our Idaho shop, the same individual care and attention, our past customers come first. Repairs are prioritized in the following manner.
1. Warranty repairs on bamboo fly rods built by us.
2. Non-warranty repairs on bamboo fly rods built by us.
3. Repairs on bamboo fly rods built by other makers and manufacturers
Our intention is take care of those customers who have helped build our business first.
Repairs are prioritized by the above method, and then completed in the order they have been received. The average customer will see no change in working time when having their bamboo fly rod repaired, but should be aware that their order may be bumped by a couple days (when repair times are typically measured in weeks) if a higher priority repair comes into the shop.
