UPDATE re: Liquidation Sale and Reorgainzation

Thanks for all the requests and response to the ongoing liquidation sale of some lines of blanks and components. Please don't hesitate to ask for the list or to contact me by email for interest in ordering or other info.

Email: info@rodreel.com

Besides what is listed, I just want to draw special attention to some premium guides I have overstocked and would like to see move.
These are black ring SiC with Black Frame. Also Gold Ring with Hardaloy Ring. These are from a premium manufacturer that we are discontinuing. A few gold frame/SiC ring also.

A HINT of what's to come with my reorganization and the stock of lines we want to liquidate. Many blanks are gone, but there is still a fair selection that will interest anyone. Especially newbies interested in some kits I can help you put together and get some direction about selecting components, I'll do my best to get you going.

We are stocking up on American Tackle brand components and intend to draw as a premium contributor for their stockiing and program as a distributor. The awesome job that Joe has done with the company over the past few years has coninvced me this is the right direction to go. Fair pricing, high quality product, and innovation for items that custom rod builders will continue to enjoy. The Titan and Holographic guides are a prime example of my confidence in product. Now the new matrix, Heritage, and Elite blank series will round out everything desireable for value and performance.

Next, is my continuing committment with St. Croix as a continuing blank distributor and their handle kits and other fine product as a dealer. I want this to grow, and it will. We receive nothing but fine comments about 95% of the time from anyone buying and using St. Croix domestic made blanks backed by nearly 50 years of U.S.A. expertise on this front. That means a lot to me, as well as customer confidence and the folks making these blanks are anglers as much as highly skilled technicians and craftsman for the product. To continue offering these to my customers will be a priority. We look forward to reaching out to new and old customers alike in friendly fashion and commeraderie about rod building.
Gotta make a living, but it's nice to have such wonderful customers keeping common interest about the offering of rod building supplies.

Thanks all, and I look forward to serving you.

Rich--even though I own a "competitive" rodbuilding supply company in Canada, I have nothing but good things to say about you and the product line you've chosen. I sincerely have appreciated your service to us whenever we were desparate for supplies before we started Rocky Mountain, and wish you the very best with this transition. I think you've made some wise choices in going with American Tackle, and how can you go wrong with St. Croix!?

And I have to agree with your statement re: the wonderful customers we get to deal with in offering rodbuilding supplies. I find myself waking up each morning genuinely anticipating the day's interactions. We've chosen a good line of work, methinks! :)

All the best,
