No,

I've been building rods up there for almost 20 years. Nothing wrong with plugging a good store!!!!

They have been in business along time for a reason. Great service and knowledge that can't be beat.

No different than you recommending Decal Connection

I hear you there. Why change a good thing if it works.

Sounds like they treat you right, and I know thay are vary good at what thay do.

Mid West rod and Reel is a bit closer for me(2 blocks) and Al and Bill Treat me well(and every one else that stops in).

Its nice having two shops in the metro, one on each side of town.

Remember back in the 80's (maybe your younger) I'm 47.

There use to be Rod Craft in Bloomington, Joes in St. Paul,

and a few others.

Are Thorne Bros & Mid West rod & Reel the only shops in the Metro.

They always go the extra mile. They appreciate the referrals and new Customers that come in that mention my name.

Let's just hope these two places will be around for a LONG TIME!!! grin

Thay are the only full service shops in the twin citys(Blanks, Components and classes)

There is somthing to be seid about the internet, and the little guys. frown

I remember Rod Crafters, I was young(I'm 31). My dad use to get rods repaired there. Thats how I got in to rod building(I started when I was 13).

The classes and the customer service is what keeps the shops open. IMO It's nices to see what your getting befor you buy it. Like buying cork on line or a blank based off the manufactuers ldea of what the action is, what a gamble.

Good wraps

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
