CALLERS

Callers are very welcome but by appointment only please. I love to talk about rods and fishing, unscheduled callers though can seriously

disrupt work in progress. When I am rolling blanks or varnishing rods stopping work to chat can be difficult.

Please email or phone. You may get my answering machine if you call, please leave a message

and I'll get back to you to arrange suitable time to bring the rod in for examination.

I dislike putting customers off before even getting sight of a rod but the latest trend for metallic rod finishes are causing

a lot of headaches. Please read this page for information on before sending a rod with that type of finish for repair. 

 

New handles fitted. Guides replaced.

Have your old carbon rod stripped and refinished as new. With the state of the art carbon fibres & coatings we have available now it will be better than new!

*The above price is a rough guide to the price of a replacement bare carbon unfinished tip section manufactured for a 9 -10ft 3 or 4 section fly rod. This price does not include any extras such as the cost of any finishing work, materials or the supply of components.Mid or butt sections require more design input, they also use more carbon material and will be more expensive to manufacture.

"Dear David,   Just to say I received my Hardy Smuggler rod this morning, i'm very pleased indeed with it, the colour and whippings of the new section really blend in excellently and look just like the factory finish. Better!   I now have an excuse for a trip to the water this afternoon.   Many thanks  S H."
