1st rod

I am looking to start on my 1st rod this year. I know M&D's have all of the supplies. For those of us up close to Boston. If there are last minute, onesy, twosey things. Is there anyplace good around Weymouth or even up on the north-shore?

Also - any good catalogs?

Try Rodbuilders in Kingston Ma. Right on route 3a across from the Charliehorse......take a left off exit 9 or 10 (I forget which one) the Bickfords is visable off the exit there! They will have everything you may need and it is not too far away.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Exclamation

Yes for odds and ends you can go to Rodbuilders in Kingston but if I were you I would make sure that you get most if not all the components you need through Mike because most other sources of rodbuilding components wont even come close to Mike's prices!!

Some of his prices are actually less than wholesale!
