Besides MudHole, JannsNetcraft where can I find components for the handles? Blanks I plan on using some RodGeeks and NFC so I am good there for now.

Are you looking for finished components or cork rings that can be used to build your own designs.  HFF does have a great selection of Cork4Us exotic burl rings in addition to their finished components.  One can easily adapt a drill press to make cork components; no need for a lathe.

I have used Mudhole and Get bit outdoors without issue.  I have also order from Acid rods.

I use voodoo a lot these days- they are awesome to work with and have both standard and unique parts. Lure parts online/anglers workshop is nice too if you need some tackle at the same time.

Since you have done business with NFC why not use them for the other stuff, they could have put the components in the same tube as your blanks and shipped them on the same dime.

You have not been clear on what components you are interested in.

I'm not currently looking for anything, but @spoonplugger1 comment had me wondering if NFC has stuff I use that isn't listed on the website. Fuji KT and KB running guides, ECS reelseats, and KDPS just to name a few.

 

I'm not the OP.

I just double checked to make sure I'm not losing my eyesight (age will do that to you). I'm still not seeing any single foot Fuji running guides (KB/KT). That was why I asked if maybe it was common knowledge that they carried some stuff that isn't on the website. It was my assumption that most people don't build casting rods with only double foot, or spinning reduction guides. That is all that shows up for me when I look, maybe it's my browser... maybe it's my old eyes. Either way, I'm not seeing them because, for me, they aren't there. I even tried the search function.  

 

My apologies for derailing the thread, and thank you guys for your time.

I went through every page of the grips/guides and could not find KB/KT.  A search for KB produced a blank.  NFC has a lot of work to do to make that web site work properly.  HFF is a fine company to work with, but their web site too doesn't show everything they have.  The most complete, easy to use web source in my opinion is Get Bit.

Just found Anglers Resource as well.

I caught Get Bit gouging once, they raised their price for a rod building kit by like 150 bucks, then advertised like $50 off or something for black Friday. I got it on sale for half of the new sale price, blew my mind.

 

I had purchased the exact same kit like 2_3 weeks prior and was shopping for my next build. I called them out and after they said they'd look into it they just went ghost.

 

I've never ordered from them again
