Born from a lifelong passion for fishing and craftsmanship, Stormproof Tackle Co. started as a small hobby at the kitchen table — restoring antique reels and bringing old gear back to life. Over time, that passion grew into something more: a full-service workshop dedicated to keeping anglers on the water with dependable, high-performing gear.

Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, we saw a clear need for a local, trustworthy shop that does it all — from precision reel repair and tuning to rod guide replacement and full rewraps. At Stormproof Tackle Co., our mission is simple: to be the name you trust for all your maintenance, repair, and upgrade needs.

We pride ourselves on a foundation built on integrity, honesty, and craftsmanship. Every reel and rod that comes through our doors gets treated like it’s our own. Whether it’s a vintage favorite or your tournament setup, we take the time to do it right — with clear communication, fair pricing, and attention to every detail.

Our signature Stormproof Upgrade service pushes performance to the next level, offering ultrasonic cleaning, polished friction points, upgraded bearings, and carbon drag systems for smoother, stronger reels that last.

From inshore to offshore, weekend trips to tournaments — we’re here to make sure your gear performs when it matters most.
