Bamboo rod repair

[Razorbacker]

My Headwaters snapped right at the ferrule thanks to a branch snag. Any suggestions for local (NJ) repair?

Only local to NJ rodmakers I know of are Rob Smith, Pentalux rods, you can find him on Facebook, don't know if he does repair work. Otherwise I'd try Art Weiler out in Kunkletown, PA.

I would go with Art. I would think he would be more willing to do it as a full time rodmaker and his prices are very good. You can also try dennis menscer up at the West Branch. I am also friend with a gentleman named Munsey Wheby who i think would do it but you would have to send it. He is also a great rodmaker at very reasonable price if anyone is interested.

thanks guys... appreciate it.

A second for Dennis Menscer, but as noted, he's upstate on the lower WBD. He used to do business through Shannon's and come down monthly, but I'm not sure if that relationship has continued since Jim's passing. But he makes and repairs bamboo.

I am dropping it off with Dennis in a couple weeks when I am up there. Any excuse to get me to the WB....

You should be very happy with his work. I know I and others have been.
