Very few companies offer print catalogs these days (and in effect, are missing 95% of the world's rod builders). Mud Hole, Jann's, Angler's Workshop and Merrick Tackle are the only ones left publishing component catalogs, that I know of.

I looked at Pac Bay tonight.. They offer a download catalog or if you prefer the will mail one to you. You have to agree to allow them to give your information to their vendors. That should get your mail box filled up.

Mostly build fly rods so these are geared towards that:

cabelas
Hook and Hackle
Feather Craft (limited to highend fly rod stuff)
Batson (however, I have their .pdf catalog not sure about paper)

Batson for sure had a very nice printed catalog in 2010. I got it from them at the West Coast rod building show in Pasadena. Not sure about this year. It's very helpful since their guide size coding is so complicated. Anyway, I'd love a 2011 version if available.

And we have a basic catalog, although it is outdated shortly after it is printed, so the web site is the best place to look.
That can be updated quickly with new products.
A phone call is another option if someone is looking for an item not listed, or without internet access.

Best wishes,

Batson does have a paper catalog. Very nice one. I just got one at a NERBs gathering. So I know they are available.

There are plenty of manufacturers catalogs but I THINK he is looking for catalogs from vendors/dealer where he can see prices and purchase stuff. Mudhole, Janns Netcraft and Cabelas, which has a specific small Tackle Craft catalog which can be ordered or picked up. I believe that Merrick( Wholesale ONLY must have business license) quit producing their paper catalog though I may be wrong
