"A outstanding shop to deal with. Great customer service from Paul and Sylvia. The service these guys provide is the best in the country for reel and rod repairs and service. What appeals to me is the Custom rod building that sports service center does, the custom CTS salmon rods I have from them are just a level above the rest. Deal with the best get the best."
