Read the reviews online then get your money back.

Loads of people paid and never received any rods, then had do charge backs via their bank.

If you take £1,200 off loads of people the interest on a big chunk of money can be very lucrative.

These guys are worth avoiding. I waited 14 months for my rods.
I will never use them again. They do how ever make a good rod, but you honestly roll a dice on what level of customer service you receive.
My last two builds have been from Resilure. Top notch service.

Got mine after 6 weeks and quality as good as I hoped 👌

Have they told you why the delay - how long has it been?

Hopefully not for 6 months like most people seem to wait. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised.😀🤔🙁

There's always time for a bit of promotion. Which will no doubt lead to some very disappointed punters of the back of it.

And yet he was featured in one of Carl's recent fishing vlogs where he made him a custom built rod for stalking.....

Avoid at all cost. Dealing with this company will be painful and very time consuming.

Seems to be a 6 month wait on most orders with this company..

People are ordering rods. Not custom built Rollers for ****s sake..

Customer service is zilch and always has been...would've even contemplate spending a penny there...

Great rods BUT......... I ordered a set of rods and they eventually arrived nearly 6 months later after being told they were ex-stock.
I sent countless emails, phone calls & VM's, FB messages, Insta messages.
I even sent a legal action warning letter via recorded post.
Nobody ever answered.
I missed the use of the rods for a large French venue I wanted them for.
Eventually they answered and apologised and said the rods would be with me the next week. 3 weeks went by

The power of the Forum. Word as filtered back. Tom who owns the company used to post on many moons ago. Maybe he popped on. Glad you got it sorted. Even though it did take six months..

Difficult to do, as the R1 blanks are built specifically for them by Harrison.

I acquired the rods second hand.
