Calling Rod builders

[Hilgy]

I'm hoping that there are a few experienced builders here that could help a noob out with sourcing components for rob building. This winter I ordered an all in one starter kit from Mudhole and started building ice rods for something to do.

I have built a couple simple rods to get started and would like to buy some more components to add some more character to my next blanks. There are a bunch of handle parts and pieces in different colors by CRB that I have found on Mudholes site but the exchange and high shipping costs are not attractive.

I have done a few search's but cant seem to find a Canadian source? Anyone have a good Canadian source for this stuff and any tips on good Alberta rod building suppliers?

Thanks
Hilgy

Fish tales fly shop in Calgary might be able to help as well. They put on courses and have a bit of supplies

I have ordered from these guys but with the exchange it's getting a bit expensive now.

They do have some good sales on close out items at times.


You didn't ask but I really like St Croix rod blanks and have made a bunch of rods using them and have been quite pleased.
