I'm not sure if there are any local shops left. I know there are many builders on this site. It would help if we knew what you wanted. For example:
- rod size and layout, length, 1 piece, 2 piece, or more
-rod use salt water or fresh water (big difference in components used)

-type of rod spinning, spin-cast bait cast, trolling, fly rod

-type of handle, at least cork versus some type of foam
-do you need the rod blank itself, if so, what do you want
-what type and brand of guides do you want to use wire, ceramic insert or more
-do you want a simple guide wrap or a custom wrap


If you can answer some of these questions, then I suspect there are local builders that can supply many of the parts you want.


For a supply house, I go to Rod Builder Supplies:
https://rodbuildersupplies.com/


For components, I usually buy on eBay if I do not have them in my stock.
