I've got a Kistler flipping stick that I absolutely love and have had for almost ten years now.  The ceramic inset in the tip broke last year and I replaced the tip but it wasn't a perfect match.   Then a guide mid ways up the blank had the ceramic pop loose.  Not sure what happened to the ceramic piece (lost somewhere in the garage).  I removed the eye and had planned to replace it but never got around to it.  Now another insert has come loose.  I guess it's just time to have it rewrapped.

Looking for a reputable rod builder that can remove the guides that are left and rewrap the entire blank with matching guides.  Looking to have micro guides put on if possible.

I'd prefer someone that's not a crazy long distance away.  I'm in Petaluma but info travel to Clear Lake and the Delta fairly regularly.

Looking for some recommendations.

I have a friend that builds custom rods from the ground up. I'm sure what you need is really easy for him. His name is Robbie - 347.829.1156
