Hello all,

I've already searched the directory, but I'm sure there are several of you guys from Columbus Ohio hiding in the woodwork. If you're from Columbus or in the general area, shoot me an email. Thanks!!

I probably have amassed the largest mailing list of current rod builders that there has ever been - something like 85,000+ rod builders. Most of them don't view this site so I don't know how much response you'll get. While I can't give out other people's names and addresses, I will tell you that there are about 1600 custom rod builders on my Ohio list. So they're certainly out there in your neck of the woods.

Funny thing - try wearing some sort of hat or shirt proclaming yourself a custom rod builder or with the name of your custom rod business and you may be very surprised at how many folks you meet at the grocery store, marina, barber shop, etc., will come over and mention to you that they build rods too. That's the thing about custom rod builders - you can't necessarily tell who they are in a crowd. We all look alike.

Are you sure about that? lol!

If you look at the hair on the top of the head and the hair on the point of the chin you may get a little confused! For sure they do not all look alike!
