Customer Satisfaction Is My #1 Concern

At BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rods, every rod begins with a conversation. I believe that personal phone or email communication with each customer—new or returning—is essential to ensure every detail of your custom fly rod is exactly right before an order is placed.

 

How to Place an Order

To get started, please contact me by phone or email so we can discuss:

  • Rod model and blank selection

  • Component options and custom features

  • How and where you fish

Once all elements of your BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rod have been finalized, I will complete your order confirmation and email you an invoice.

​

To place an order, I will need:

  • Full Name

  • Street Address

  • Phone Number

  • Email Address

Payment is accepted by check or electronic funds transfer. Once payment is received, your order is placed in the build queue and all components are staged for assembly.

 

Typical turnaround time: approximately 4–6 weeks (+/-) after the rod blank and components are received from the manufacturer.

Warranty Information

BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rods stands behind its craftsmanship. In the event of rod breakage, repair or replacement costs are determined by labor, replacement blank section cost, shipping, and any manufacturer handling or service fees.

  • BEAVERBUILT honors the rod blank manufacturer’s warranty (Sage, Winston, etc.) if applicable and only for breakage that occurs while fishing.

  • Most manufacturers do not offer a warranty on blanks built as custom rods by independent builders.

 

What Is Not Covered

Breakage due to non-fishing causes—including pets, car doors, over-bending, snagged line, or accidental damage—is not covered under any warranty.

 

Repair Process

If a rod section breaks:

  1. Return the entire rod and all broken pieces to the address listed on the Contact page.

  2. The rod will be forwarded to the manufacturer for fitting of a replacement blank section.

 

Approximate Replacement Costs

Replacement costs are proportional to the original rod price and number of sections:

  • 2-piece rod: ~50% per section

  • 3-piece rod: ~35% per section

  • 4-piece rod: ~25% per section

  • 5–7 piece rods: ~20% per section

Butt sections may cost more due to cork grip and reel seat replacement.

 

BEAVERBUILT does not normally offer 2-piece rods, but they can be special-ordered upon request.
