SFR Fly Rod Repair Services?

[Stimson]

Mud Hole rod building supplies looks like they might have your replacement. Clean up the end of the rod, ream the new cork fighting butt to fit if necessary, and glue that thing onto the rod. DIY. As a friend of mine says, "make it happen".

DimeBrite…..did you get your fighting butt fixed?

First off, thanks to everyone for their suggestions and kind offers!

I'm still looking at all my options (fly rod supply websites) to buy a $5-$6 fighting butt that will easily fit onto my NRX classic. If necessary I might have to sand out some cork for a proper fit. Then I can epoxy it onto the rod.

With a travel trip coming up later this fall, I completed my 12 weight fighting butt repair. Using a Dremmel tool and very sharp utility blade I "customized" a fit to my NRX. 5 minute epoxy did the rest. A rod builder would have milled the butt down to sleeker dimensions and weight. This rod is a war hammer for big fish fights so the esthetics don't matter to me.
