Hi.
Good to hear about a new rod builder.
A good start is to call Clemens Tackle and ask to have their catalog sent to you. In the front of the catalog is a 4 page prima on building a custom rod. A lot of good info.1-(610) 395-5119.

Many times your local tackle shop builds custom rods. They are a tremendous help and if your use their help purchase your materials from them in return.
I would be very happy to assist you on this rewarding journey. I have a shop in Sayville, NY and you are welcome to come by and see how things are accomplished.
Happy rod building.
