Now that the Angler's Workshop store blew town I'm wondering if there are any shops in the Puget Sound area, or for that matter, the Portland area that have a good selection of parts for building a rod top to bottom?

I realize there are online options but the whole beauty of Angler's was I could walk right in with my blank and piece together/fit exactly what I wanted with no wrong turns.

Anyone know of anything shop-wise in the area that offers this?

Thanks.

I was thinking Batson as well, but I don't know if their component selection is as large as AW was.

Never heard of Utmost. Where are they?

Utmost is Batson, and they have an absolute TON of stuff.

Fish on...

Thanks for the replies so far.

Does Batson have a retail shop I can walk into? As mentioned in the original post, I'm not looking for online…..rather a shop I can walk into and pick my parts.

Batson's retail store is called Fisherman's Outlet about a mile north on the Carlsborg Road, West of Sequim a couple miles West of the Dungeness River. Bring your blank in and they have all the components-guides, rod wrap, reel seats, cork, etc.. Also a good place to buy wholesale reels (limited selection) and other tackle.

Turn N on Carlsborg Road off Hwy 101 at the stop light. There'll be a Shell station on your right at the light.

I think I have a blank I would love to build this winter while I sit on my hiner.

No idea where and what to buy. Would love to go into a rod building component shop with it and buy the stuff I would need.
