Kinda of far for you but I got mine done in Benicia. It's right next to Benicia Bait and Tackle. Might be called Todds.

Awesome! Thank you sir! Just called them and sounds like a good place. Will be making my way down there. Gives me an excuse to check out another shop and see what kind of gear they offer.

Todd is a good guy. I have had several things done by him. Always done properly, quickly, and great prices.

I have my reels fixed by Todd when I used to live in Benicia.  Great guy and he does quality jobs.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I'm planning on making my way there this Thursday. Also, thinking about doing a little bank fishing while I'm there. Any good spots for salmon and what kind of rig do most people use? I was thinking of throwing lures around, but I kinda want a bait soaking in the water as well. Trolling from the bank?

Michelle at HI's tackle shop in South San Francisco has been making some nice custom rods as well as repairs. I was very happy with the new guide she put on my surf rod to fix a sub-standard repair done by a supposed rod building expert last year...

Never fished out in Benicia. What species do they have? Any launch sites over there?

I've never launched in Benicia. The water front around first st has possibilities. Go into the bait shop next door. They should have some helpful info.

Striper and Sturgeon year round.  Salmon and Jack Smelt when they're running through the straight.  You can launch kayak from public launch on 9th Street or at the end of First Street.

Yep, fished at that pier today, and it was super windy today, but a great spot to launch a kayak.

Todd is awesome! My rod is schweeet and ready to go on my tuna hunt next month. Thanks again fellas!
