Have build 15-20 rods. Surf rods, striper rods, bass rods. Mudhole.com and fishstick4u.com are two exellent places for parts. Mudhole also has a good deal of info on building rods. I know there is a rod building site out there somewhere with a good forum on it (rodbuilders.org maybe?). If you have some general questions, fire away, I would be happy to help if I can.
