Have a pair of NW 1.5lb rodcraft Kevlar 12ft which i use for tench which have superb through action and built my own first 'proper 'carp rods on their ss5 11ft 2lb tc glass fibre blanks which had a great action (and lots of memories).,also have their 2 piece landing net handle with the spiral wrap fitted with a fox trigger block.
All quality items built in the UK which im sad to say is small percentage of the gear available these days

Built all my north western rods myself , the blanks .were as thick at the tip as the harrisons i build these days are at the butt, as i said in the day they were ok , by todays standards not so, my first saturday job was at north westerns factory in grimshaw lane middleton.I much preferred the tri cast rods at that time period.what i did like about them was they sold blanks and full kits for anyone to build .

Yes the original dream maker mk 1 was built on a brown harrison blank ,
They were designed and mostly if not all built by alastair bond.
If you have some of them i will buy them off you.

The original dream maker you have along with the leslies of luton insights are probably two of the best carp rods i have ever seen and used.

I'm currently using two 12ft. 2 3/4 dream maker enigma. Bought them new about 2002. Fantastic through action rod. I bought them in Belgium. They were very popular at that time. I was very lucky they were my first carp rods.
