If anyone is looking to get some rod repairs or general rod work done, I can strongly recommendly Wahyu at Global Tackle at 479 Anzac Parade in Kingsford. He repaired three rods for me recently - a SP78UHL with a crumpled stripper, a Komodo Dragon with the same problem as the SP78UHL and a Miller rod which needed a new tip and a few guides moved. His work is exemplary. I asked for triple binding on the popping rods. he had to replace the under-binding on the Komodo Dragon and I can't tell that it has been repaired, it is that good a job.
His prices are also very reasonable.
