AboutJoe Douglas Expertise I can answer questions on custom rod building and rod restoration and rod repair for bamboo, graphite and fiberglass fishing rods. I also have experience in estimating the value of vintage rods and determining the original manufacturer.
Experience I operate a custom rod building business providing fly rods, spey rods, casting and spinning rods in bamboo graphite and fiberglass. I have a personal interest in vintage rods and have a small collection of reference books and articles which often help shed light on the origins of the older rods.

Question can you please tell me why my string is not moving with my reel. i just started fishing and my string came off. i put the sting back in the holes but the sting is not moving please help me asap thanks
Answer Hi Silvia,
I'll try but I'll need some more information.
What kind of reel is this? Casting, spinning, fly?
What kind of line are you using?
Do you mean the string fell off the reel?
When you say you put the string back in the holes do you mean the guides on the rod or some holes on the reel itself?
Having your line unravel or get caught in the reel can be a frustrating experience. If you can provide a little more information regarding the reel and what happened and how you think it happened, I may be able to help.
