I had a rod with 2 severely mashed guides...not sure how but it happened. I got a hold of Ray on Saturday and dropped the rod off. He stripped off the bad guides,re-served them properly and applied a perfect coat of epoxy. My rod was ready today! That's service! If anyone is looking to have a rod repaired or have a custom rod built Ray Z is your man. You will not find a more talented and reasonably priced rod builder than our own, Ray Z. Thanks again Buddy!
