Gavin Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Got my old 10' 5wt back from Tom today! Had a sick mid and decided to order an extra tip section. Sage sent two tips and a new mid! Could not be happier! My best roll cast lead chucked is back in action! Tom does great custom work as well as repairs. Great resource and a good friend.
fishinwrench Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Pretty rod! That is some clean crisp cork. Do you ever get to use that thing? Gavin 1
Greasy B Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Yeah, great guy. Tom sold me some of my first fly equipment back when he worked at the outdoors limited on Clayton road. Nice rod, Gavin 1 His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
rFisherk Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I remember when Tom caught his first 15-plus-inch brown from the Meramec. Much later, I had him build a 10-weight Sage for me, which I still use. Tom is truly a dedicated fly fisherman; something of a legend, I suppose. Anyone who doesn't know him should visit his shop in Manchester and shake his hand. Greasy B 1
stlfisher Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Everytime I visit that store and make a decent purchase they always throw in a little something extra just because. Good service and a nice couple of guys. I can only imagine the stuff they have forgotten about hidden in that basement.
Pat Magee Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Another bonus is almost always being offered a beer by someone who is sitting around the wood burning stove. It truly is one of my favorite stops for gear even though it may be a little pricier then some other places.
