I've heard a lot of positive stuff about a rod builder in my neck of the woods called Buzzard Rods. Not a manufacturer as such. But definitely hand built Uk stuff if that's any help.

I'm not sure you can include Chris Orme on this list. The thread title says he's looking for RELIABLE companies.

My mate had a nightmare with him and I seem to remember a lot of other unhappy campers the last time his name was mentioned. Seemed to be a complete lottery if you got your rods.

Never ordered from him Myself but my mate had a decent experience with him lol

I could have said Cotswold rods but they are as bad from some of the stories I have heard

I can highly recommend Calvin Hancock for rod building. Easy to contact and delivered exactly when he said with top quality work. Think he has recently released a net too, but I already have a Chris Brown carbon.
