If anyone is looking for a decent rod and reel shop try rich's rod n reel repair its in new athens. Ive been going ther for almost 7 years now. Always done good work for me. They can evan custom make rods for you.

YUP, he's a good guy. and the price is right on reel repair. That's all I ever took up there, but he fixes em up right. He also does preventive maintnence on em, cleans, greases, and oils what needs done, and they come out good as new...

BTW y'uns, right NOW is a good time to go over your stuff. That way when it's time to fish you'll be ready. And if it need fixin, you won't be waiting in line to get your reels back when the fish are bitin.
