Default Edmonton Custom Rod Builders?

Could anyone point me in the direction of a good rod builder in edmonton please? Chuck Harvey has built a few awesome ones for me in the last couple of years but is unable to have one ready for when I need it this year. Any suggestions are appreciated. Please PM me or post here, thanks!

In your own best interest I would look to a little larger area than just Edmonton for a custom rod builder. By including all of Alberta you would add many high quality builders that could provide references. I think the southern half of the province has many more options available but that would not be the first mistake I've made.

I have never had a custom rod built for myself before. So many different possibilities ..... If you are really interested in that you should consider a rod building course and building one for yourself, that would be a awesome rod to own. If you wanted a Bamboo rod chat with a builder like Don Anderson and I am sure he would be able to at least educate you on many of the finer points of Bamboo Rods.
