Builders in Australia??

I've been corresponding with a fisherman in Australia who's looking to buy some good casting/spinning rods. Shipping costs for low quantities of long one-piece rods from here to there preclude me satisfying his needs but I thought readers of this board might be able to help me out in contacting some good, reputable builders more local to him. He's prepped to try rods built on CTS blanks. If you can help me, drop me a line with a name, email address, and possibly a phone number I'll forward it on to him. I'm still kicking myself for not talking to the Aussie builder who attended the ICRBE but I know someone here will come through for me. Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,

The Aussie rod builder and his father stopped by my booth at the ICRBE. He bought
an EcoWrapper from me so if you would like, drop me an email at cralho@therodshop.biz
and I will forward it to him so he can contact you.

Hope this helps,
Clyde Alho

Australia a big place, shipping from one side to the other could be the same as from the US, are you able to narrow down his location a bit.
