Refresh an old topic-where to get repairs done in DC

Just got back from Rod and Reel in Arlington.   2 rod tips, reassembled spinning reel that was in 1000 parts, and few screws for an old Penn level wind = $32.

Added a 5.5 fiberglass fly rod of unknown origin for $8 and a spin set up for my 10 year and I was out a total of $52.

Topped it off with a sub from the Italian Store (and brought home dinner for my wife and kids) that was awesome.

Remember if you have an issue with a rod or reel not sure how long Mr. Evans is gonna be around but he is the best.

Oh yeah...look how good the new fly rod goes with the new head gear.

I have taken quite a few spinning rods there a couple years ago. He does top notch work for a great price.

Good to know, I have a damaged ferrule I've been meaning to take to him. Is the shop a walk-in, limited hours, appointment...?

Odd hours something like W, Th, Fri 11-5.  Call ahead he lives upstairs and may take a random drop off.

Take a sponge soaked in warm water - nothing else, and scrub/rub down the cork on that new-to-you rod - it'll look brand new.

Magic erasers work wonders on rod corks!

I have my grandfathers old LL Bean rod from the 70's where the cork is essentially black from wear.... maybe ill clean it and do a before and after set of pics. could be interesting.
