I've always kept my mouth shut , I assumed it was a one off
as ive never heard anyone else say a bad word
in 2009 he built me a lovely set of 3x 12ft rods
I can complain about them they are great
but I also gave him my grandfathers rod to repair or at least quote on repairing
I gave up chasing after two years
and I still have never heard from him or never got the rod back

To add balance, I had a set from him last year. After 2 weeks I was informed they would be approximately 1week late due to back order on the reel seats, and true to his word they were 1week late. They quality is superb, and I am more than happy with them and would use chris again

As I said I have three rods made by Chris
And the quality is superb possibly one of the best rod builders in the country
But !

The bloke is a right piss taker, I wouldn't mind betting your missing rod was one of the many in the corner of his work shed at the bottom of his garden, an absolute mess in there.

All the glue and resin everywhere, he's probably high as a kite most days, touch something and you'll end up like a fly caught in a web, as I found to my cost.

Please as much as I was upset at what went on I do not think this is the right place for a bash Chris thread
The original post asked about code rods I think we should return to the subject

To be fair , its more of a warning than a bash... I wouldnt want people parting with their hard earned money to end up bitterly disappointed

To add some balance to this thread. I had some rods and net built by Chris a few years back and I can't fault the quality of the workmanship.
Rods were built to the timelines agreed and he let me borrow a test rod before committing to an order under complete trust. I never left a deposit or met Chris before and he still let me take away one of his rods.
Sad to hear that his time commitments are not as good as they should be as his workman ship and attention to detail is really good.
