Repairs for blanks 6 years old and under are subject to an admin service fee of NZ $70 plus return shipping (note, if your repair is for an older model SVU (S7 Surf) with length greater than 240cm, there will be an additional freight charge required).
Repairs or replacement parts for blanks that are 10 or more years old are supplied at standard part rates. For example, a tip on a 4pc blank will be 25% of the current blank cost. Please email our support helpdesk to request a part for a blank older than 10 years.
We need to have the last 75-100mm (3-4″) of each end of a broken section posted to us. This way we can match colour accurately, and ensure the fit lengths are correct.
IMPORTANT: When shipping parts to us, please mark the shipment as ‘Repairs’ with No Commercial Value (NCV).
Air Post is the best way to get small parts to us.
Our Postal address is: PO Box 28794, Remuera, 1541, Auckland, New Zealand, P:+64 9 4803015

Broke my Affinity X fly rods butt section, but no worry. I was able to replace it with a new one at a reasoanable price. Just remember to keep those broken parts to measure the width of the male part of the blank. Everything worked smoothly with CTS.
Fang L. (verified owner) –
The replacement top piece fits perfectly and felt just like the original! Thank you CTS for offering replacement.
Peter C. (verified owner) –
It’s tough to match the paint on a 5-6 year old blank. The replacement section I would call cobalt, but the original had more of a purple tint to it. Besides the color, the blank was perfect and the top section fit perfectly.
Fang (verified owner) –
The replacement top section fits and matched the old one perfectly! Thank you CTS.

Even though I had a rod that was over 10 years old, that didn’t have the same OD measurement as today’s Affinity X #8, CTS was able to manufacture a tip that fit perfectly. The casting performance and sensitivity are exactly the same as before.

fits a little tighter than original section. however, I did not send in any parts of the rod, and I took the measurements with a digital caliper. it was most likely my measurements that contributed to the fit. haven’t wrapped it yet, but it should function just fine.

Always friendly and helpful, a pleasure to deal with

Unbelievable service. U.K. based and inside a week my dog snapped a section of my newly build affinity one 8.5’ #4 and partner snapped the blade on the lawnmower. It took less time (including postage to NZ and back during lockdown/CV19) for CTS to make a new section and post it back than it did for my local garage to unscrew 3 bolts and replace a blade. TWO AND HALF WEEKS! That’s unbelievably quick in normal times! Says it all really. The rod is utterly sublime, up there with the very top of the named brands. 10/10

As I purchased 2 sections to replace broken ones and obviousely the measurments made by me weren’t precise as should be (after all new sections look somehow different comparing the rest of the old rod) I’m satisfied with them i.e. with my new/old fly rod. Tight lines, Franc
