There’s only two professional rod builders in Ireland myself and a guy in Waterford.
Ask around your local clubs as there might be a hobby rod builder in you location.

Worth the extra money for one of the two pro's in Ireland otherwise you're taking a serious step down in quality which for a top end rod is idiocy
