Have been registered here for awhile, and have enjoyed reading the posts here. Am finally getting the opportunity to get back into the fishing world and devote alot more time to fishing and helping out in this great pursuit. Due to some health concerns, I had to resign the position I was in for the past 10 yrs. But this has given me the opportunity to open a rod and reel service business and hopefully put my years of experience to some good use. I am located in Galmey, MO in the Pomme de Terre lake area and am looking forward to learning this wonderful lake a lot better. If anyone has any questions about reel repair or rod building and repair (not quite as experienced in this but am learning quickly) feel free to contact me and I will try to help any way I can. Thanks for the great forum here.
