I had a set of 10ft Harrison Aviators built off Dean at Eden custom rods and his an artist his work is perfection and easily one of the best rod builders in the UK, definitely worth calling as struggle to get a better builder

Thanks, missed that number somehow.

Seems there's a fair few recommendations, i never realised there was so many custom builders out there.

I also spoke to cotswold who seem pretty up together with things. tricky decision now!

Do your research on Cotswold Chao, they really don't have a good reputation at all

I emailed Kev Clayton a few weeks back about a build, never got a reply back. Won't use him.

He has had covid along with his wife and daughters,he is probably flat out trying to catch up as he's always mega busy.You are best giving him a ring.

I e-mailed Mr Clayton about a build 3 weeks ago, he said he was very busy, and it would be June at least before he could do my rods. As I'm not in a hurry I asked to be put on the list and he will contact me when he can start the build. Didn't know he had covid. I've had it too. Hope he and his family are recovering well.
Are you sure?
