Im not even sure where to begin..

 

I am needing guides installed on a large number of rods (100+) Where can I find a list of builders that may be able to help achieve this. 

 

Thanks

All the guides on the rods or just one or two on each rod?

Go on Mudhole or another building site and find someone local. Shipping all those rods doesn't make sense.

Just repairs, replacing a couple guides per rod or full builds, wrapping all the guides on the rods?  Are the grips already installed?

Rods are complete except for 7 Single foot guides.  They would need to be installed and epoxied. I would supply thread, guides, and epoxy. Just trying to see how I could go about this. 

That's a bunch of work for most of us small builders. That would likely take months for most of us.

 

I charge $7/guide to wrap/finish single foot guides.  I normally build 12-15 rods/year plus a bunch of repairs.

You don't need a rod builder, you need rod wrappers one gentleman I know wraps at about 20 seconds per on a bad day, rarely do they also have the drum dryers on the premises for finish and drying the rods, the rod companies do that in house. They will wrap at a contracted price per guide than ship them back to you. Rod manufacturers in your area can help, they are contract workers who wrap for many companies so the info isn't proprietary by any means.
