Rod Builder Locator

Dear Rod building community,

We are building (what we think!) is the most comprehensive rod builder map both US and Worldwide.

Ove the course of a year, we will get thousands of calls and emails of consumers looking for custom rod builders. We decided to make it easy for them to locate, and get in touch with THEIR LOCAL BUILDER.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN NFC CUSTOMER, and DON'T NEED TO SUBMIT A ROD TO US. Just emails us at rodmap@northforkcomposites.com

We need your zipcode (to put you on the map) your name, business name, and preferred method of contact (FB messenger, phone number, email etc.)

Our hope is to make it easier for the rod building community to reach new customers - you will see us advertising the rod map across all of our social networks.

Thank You!
Aleks

Still have to build a rod on your blanks and submit it for your approval like before? If so no thanks.

Hey Spencer - the NFC Approved Rod Building program is different than the map. The ARB program is literally the rod builds and styles that Gary likes. Its his list and he makes the decisions on who goes on that list. There are guys on that list that has passed away and are no longer building rods.

The map is just that, a map of all of the rod builders in the US/Rest of World.

Aleks,
I would sign-up immediately given more information. If Spenser’s situation prevails, count me out as well! I learned many years ago that anything which appears to be too good to be true, usually is!

FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE.

As Aleks pointed out - you do not have to build and submit a rod to be located on their rod builder map.

Thanks Tom - I edited the original post to include that part in CAPS ;-)

We have had over 40 submissions since yesterday, and the rod map is filling out nicely.

Aleks,
I guess a lot of people still feel that they would be "working for the man" so to speak. Well that ain't me. Email sent.
Thanks,
Lance

Thanks Lance - looks like our guys have added you to the list!

The rod map is filling our quite nicely, with hundreds of rod-builders added, and continue to be added daily.
