What Sets Us Apart

A Return To Old-Fashioned Craftsmanship.

Goose Creek Rods is NOT a high-volume shop.  We take our time. We are deliberate and focused on the job at hand. High-volume shops sometimes turn out 20-30 reels per day. A good day at GCR is about four reels. As such we limit the number of jobs we take in at one time. If we are at capacity, we will add you to our waiting list, if you can wait. If not, we are happy to recommend others who can provide rod and reel service.

Shop around you can probably find more than a few fishing repair shops that will do the job faster and cheaper.  Faster and cheaper is not what we are about. It’s about attention to detail and doing the job right, even if it take a little longer. We go the extra mile. Little things that don’t matter to most repair shops, matter to us. Our goal is to return the rod or reel as close as we possibly can to the day it was completed at the factory.

Not all repair shops are the same. We view ourselves as craftsmen from an age long gone by. What you receive back is the very best job we can possibly do. No games, no shortcuts, just quality work at a reasonable price.
