Hi guys,
Been thinking about building a rod for my daughter. My father made me one 30 plus years ago and I still use it today. be a cool thing for her to have.

My questions are:

Is there a shop or shops in perth that specialize in rod building gear threads blank guides etc? I know I can get the stuff online thru mudhole etc but I would also like to chew the ear of someone before with a million questions before I jump in and give it a go.

Also if you have built your own rods any tips/ tricks or things you would do differently.

I am looking to start of with a basic eastuary cspining combo for the daughter and then if all goes well will look at upgradeding my jigging rods from there...

thanks in advance for any advice tips etc. also feel free to add photos as well..
