If you’re looking for a replacement cork handle or a specific section for the White River SC3 Limited Edition Fly Rod, here are some steps to help you find the right part:
1. Contact the Manufacturer (Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s)
– The White River SC3 is a Cabela’s/Bass Pro Shops brand rod. Reach out to their Customer Service to inquire about replacement parts.
– Phone: 1-800-237-4444 (Bass Pro/Cabela’s)
– Email/Online Form: Check their website under “Customer Support.”
– If the rod is still under warranty, they may offer a repair or replacement.
2. Check with Authorized Repair Centers
– Bass Pro/Cabela’s may have recommended rod repair services that can source or craft a matching cork handle.
– Some well-known rod repair specialists (like Mud Hole Custom Tackle or The Fly Rod Shop) may assist.
3. Third-Party Cork Handle Replacement
– If an exact replacement isn’t available, consider a custom cork grip from:
– Jann’s Netcraft ([www.jannsnetcraft.com](https://www.jannsnetcraft.com))
– Mud Hole Custom Tackle ([www.mudhole.com](https://www.mudhole.com))
– You’ll need to measure the length and diameter of the existing handle for a proper fit.
4. DIY Replacement (If Comfortable)
– Purchase a pre-shaped cork grip and epoxy it onto the rod blank after removing the old handle.
– Use a heat gun to loosen old adhesive if needed.
– Ensure alignment with the reel seat before gluing.
5. Check eBay or Fishing Forums
– Sometimes, discontinued rod parts appear on eBay or forums like Fly Fisherman Magazine’s classifieds.
Note:
– The SC3 Limited Edition may have unique specs, so exact matches could be tricky.
– If the rod is high-end, professional repair might be worth the investment.
