Title: Wanting to build a rod
Post by: zacrum on August 16, 2015, 08:17:15 PM
Hey I am wanting to build a rod   and just wondering any where locally to Langley that sells the stuff   as I am one of those people that still likes to buy things in person

Sea Run has some stuff. Selection is weak but it's enough to get started.

Best Canada sources are Andy @ http://www.rodbuildersupplies.com/
and Mark at http://www.valleycustomrods.com/
I also buy from Mudhole but the exchange rate is prohibitive now.

Call Andy. He can probably set you up with some good stuff.

Mark no longer owns Valley Custom Rods.  Chad Hammond bought the company 604-997-7637 (RODS)
Email: info@valleycustomrods.com

And he is awesome!!  Mark had many things on the go so it was often hard to get access to his shop... Chad and his wife Sheina are at the shop most days and are a real pleasure to deal with.

Not a rod builder myself but from word of mouth and reputation was going to suggest Mark and now Chad at Valley Custom Rods as well for local
