| Hello,
I have a Gloomis and I love the stick but hate the handle. I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone to customize the thing for me with a new handle? In the chicagoland or southeastern wisconsin areas would be prefered.
Thanks

| What is it you hate about the handle?? Would this include replacing the reel seat...moving forward, backwad or just putting on a different style? Is a bother to disassemble the handle section and redo it taking care not to damage the blank but I have done it many times.

| The handle is simply too small. The rod is actually a mag bass rod, a flippin stick I suppose. So it does not have a very big handle. It is a great small bait and bucktail rod. I would like a handle that would be longer, for more leverage and wider so it will fit better in my hand and sit on my forearm. I would do it myself, but I do not want to mess up the rod. I have done some handles in the past and they turned out fine, but I would just feel better spending the money and having it done right the first time. |

| Give Brett at Thorne Bros. a call in Minneapolis.
They make exellent custom rods and have altered some handles on some of my other rods in the past. |
