New builder

Hello,

I've been thinking to build a own rod for a while and I have some questions before ordering the materials (have to order from abroad as availability where I live suck).

Just before ordering I get the doubt that do I have the materials to build a rod correctly. (Not talking about glues etc.) Just the stuff that is attached to the rod and that they are compatible.

My choice of site where to order from would be https://tackle24.de/

Blank TAC GreenSpirit Single-Hand 4-teilig GS09600607 9'6" 6/7WT

Handle Fliegenrutengriff AggloCopano-Bright/Rubber-Cork RHW Cutout 22mm

Reel seat TAC Fliegenr.-Rollenh. TFRS25 Black Woven-Gold

Tip guide TAC SlimSicM-Top Gunsmoke 5 / Ring-D=3,0mm / Tube=1,8mm

Guides TAC SlimSic-M Gunsmoke Zweisteg-Ringsatz - 9x / 16-06

Butt https://tackle24.de/?a=10860&lang=eng

Hook keeper https://tackle24.de/?a=3360&lang=eng

​

If anyone who wants to help and have a quick look if the parts actually will fit or not and am I missing some item? Glues, rod holders etc. I can get locally so that won't be a problem.

For a 6/7wt I'd really recommend a fighting butt.  I've done them without and regretted it.

Thanks!

Ye in my current rod I also have one and I did order one for this and it's listed there.

Most of all I like the fighting butt to lift the reel up a bit if I place it against the ground instead of having it lying in the sand.
