    Default local rod repair recommendation

    I have an Epic 580 that was custom built and has an uplocking reel seat. Unfortunately due to some mishandling, the junction between the wooden reel seat and the uplock hardware has been damaged, necessitating replacement of the wooden portion of the reel seat and resetting of the uplocking hardware to the new reel seat. Does anyone have a recommendation of someone in the Sacramento area who would be able to help me get this repaired with great quality workmanship?

    If he is still working on rods many just drop them off at Kiene's and Jim picks them up.
