I just want to send a massive thankyou to Keith.We read plenty of negative comments about companies and customer service,I thought it would be nice to see some positive feedback.I managed to lose my central bar for my pod,I emailed Keith to ask if he could do me a carbon one and 4 carbon banksticks.He did it for me no problem at all,the communication throughout was superb,they have arrived this morning as he said they would and they are a work of true craftsmanship,the carbon with titanium inners look the absolute dogs danglers.Thanks again Keith,cant wait go fishing tomorrow now

I have had carbon sticks with titanium inners and grubscrew fittings and central bar the same.I have got titanium bars which I thought might not look great but with the carbon bar/sticks having titanium on it all looks stunning together.Keith has no plans to do a 2 rod carbon/titanium pod so this was my way around it,im glad I lost my original titanium central bar now

I must have had my banksticks from him for over 20 years and they are still going strong.
Mag heads also highly recommended.

Glad to be of service Tony, that Centre Shaft I made you is actually one out of what's got called the “Classic Pod” (As it is an ancient design based on a late 90's NS Pod) that can be 2 or 3 Rod etc... as it takes Buzz Bars.
That's a mix of Carbon and solid Titanium to; both materials do seem to complement each other.

Could only think of a handful of people i trust in the trade, Keith is top of the list.
Great workmanship and service from Keith every time.

Kieth is a indeed a pleasant chap, very helpful and although I've not purchased a single item of his he is always supportive. Maybe one day.
On the lake last week and someone was enthusing about my titanium Leopard pod. He was quite dissapointed when I told him they were discontinued and offered me cash for mine. He'd never seen a pod without tightening knobs and grub screws instead.

what sort of turn around did you get?? I ordered his carbon pod on 17th February and still not received. Its my third pod ive ordered from him so used to waiting a while, but an idea of lead time would be handy to know

I've got a carbon tirdent/Black panther on order too, I think I probably placed the order roughly the same time so you sreb't alone.
Keith did warn me he had a big back log - I'm in no particular rush so am happy to let mine just arrive when it arrives.

Your nearly at the top Paul
Don't forget I did not make a single Trident last year thanks to covid - I was that busy making all the other stuff with being the only one who actually had something to sell, there was no time to make them. Everybody who asked to have one commissioned to be built got pre-warned.
But to date I'm 16 months ahead with having all last years to make as well - that's some doing making 14 months worth in just 6 months in your case Paul.

I like GB news, I know I'm supposed to hate it but they have loads of interesting debates and we always get both sides of the story..
And the local issues areoung the country are a good idea.
And Keith, I have extenders for the front of my pod and want more for the back now, the extenders are brilliant, they really come in handy sometimes..

Does this mean if I wanted some mini mag heads they would be done by next summer

Well a guy ordered and paid for some 32x 1/2" Mag heads this morning - made and mailed just now
~ I don't think people realise just how massive the demand is for the big time consuming stuff, put it this way -I don't ever advertise, no Facebook, no Twitter, no silly teams, or people running around in badged gear trying to sell stuff, no giving stuff to named anglers etc....... and have been booked solid for over 21 years!

Hi Keith. I ordered a trident off you when you first started selling them. I have lost one of the screws on the buzzer bars, any chance of a replacement screw? Thanks

Same. The Carbon Trident and matching 2 and 3 rod buzz bars. I liked the original so much I bought a second
Foolishly sold one to a mate but never had a problem with the one I've still got and find it so versatile even stands up to severe locked up situations. Only thing I've replaced is the thumb screws to some titanium ones Keith kindly sent to me. Great kit from Defiant

I bought and sold several tridents, I think I had the first S Type ever made in about 2006?
Keep going back to them, currently have 3 rod panther and it's the perfect pod, I had the centre bar made at 18" so it all fits nicely in the bag that army andy made for me.

I love life's little mysteries. I have no axe to grind here, watch what you like mate and enjoy.
Just fascinated why you started with a completely unconnected comment about GB news in a thread completely focussed on a high quality, well designed UK product?
