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 a Quote/Invoice for your Approval.
To place an order, I will need:
-
Full Name
-
Street Address
-
Phone Number
-
Email Address
Payment is accepted by cash, check or cashier's check. Once payment is received, your order is placed in the build queue and all components are staged for assembly.
Typical turnaround time: approximately 8-12 weeks (+/-) after payment is received and after the rod blank and components are received from the manufacturer. It should be noted, however, that I build the majority of customer's rods November - March, turnaround time may be a bit longer April - October when I'm out of town on frequent trips actually 'using' a few of the custom fly rods that I build.
Warranty Information
BEAVERBUILT Custom Fly Rods stands behind its Craftsmanship. Every 'implement' has a breaking point, and this applies to fly rods as well. Any fly rod will break from over bending or if over stressed during fishing. In the event of rod breakage for any reason, repair - replacement - rebuilding costs are determined by number of labor hours, replacement blank section cost, shipping costs, and any manufacturer handling or service fees.
-
BEAVERBUILT honors the manufacturer’s rod blank warranty, if applicable, and only for breakage that occurs while fishing, however, most manufacturers nowadays 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/over stressing, snagged line, or accidental damage etc. are not covered under any warranty.
Repair Process
If a rod section breaks:
-
Return the entire rod and all broken pieces to the address listed on the Contact page.
-
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
-
5–8 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.
