At Goose Creek Rods, every repair, restoration, and custom build is handled one at a time with care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

As many of you know, I’m retired, and Goose Creek Rods is not a large commercial shop — it’s a craftsman’s workshop built around quality work and personal service. Because of that, I need to keep projects moving steadily through the shop.

Going forward, once your rod or reel repair, restoration, or custom project is completed and you are notified, payment will be expected at that time.

• If you plan to pick up within a couple of days, cash payment at pickup is perfectly fine.
• If pickup will be delayed a week or longer, payment will be due upon completion notification.

For convenience, I accept:
✔ Cash at prompt pickup
✔ Zelle (preferred)
✔ Credit & Debit Cards (processing fees apply)
✔ PayPal (processing fees apply)

Unfortunately, completed projects that sit for weeks or months ties up shop time, materials, and labor.

I deeply appreciate every customer who trusts Goose Creek Rods with their equipment. Your support truly means a great deal, and this policy helps me continue providing the level of craftsmanship and service you expect.

Not perfect, and a lot of rod builders can do a much better job than I can, but I tried a technique on a restoration using silk thread that when epoxy is applied, the threads "disappear". It gives the illusion that guides are just sitting on the rod with no guide wraps.

The blank itself was almost translucent, so I thought it would be the perfect candidate to try this.
