Rod Building Stuff....
Jay,.... Board member, BobVP advertised some rod building components in the Classified Forum in May of this year. Not sure if he sold it or not but the pre-formed cork grips sounded like something you might want to look in to. Try the search function for archived posts. Also, Jann's Netcraft sometimes has rod buiding stuff on sale in their close-out section.
Over the years I've built several rods and find that I don't like REC flex guides and when selecting a reel seat, make sure the forward hood(??) is large enough to hold the large reel foot on salty reels. I have a Sage manufactured, RPLXi 10 wet., rod that I'm unable to properly seat the reel on as the space provided for the front part of the foot isn't large enough. It's a PIA!!!!
