So after living in Alabama for a little over a year, we'll be making the move back up to the great white north. The only problem is that I am now conditioned to cheap shipping without any customs fees lol... I'd love to build myself a casting rod for east coast trout, mainly brook and rainbow. I'm not looking forward to the shipping quote, nor am I looking forward to the little note from Canada Post saying I owe fifteen times the value of the parts in duties (might be a slight exaggeration but the whole *free* trade thing sure seems like a steaming pile...). Are there any Canadian suppliers of rod building supplies, specifically blanks...? Getting guides and handle material is a little easier since I could probably order that stuff before the move, it's the blank I'm concerned about as far as shipping goes. Suggestions and ideas welcome, thanks in advance!
