Would NEVER use this lot again ever !

How they are still in business beggars belief

And yet he was featured in one of Carl's recent fishing vlogs where he made him a custom built rod for stalking.....

There's always time for a bit of promotion. Which will no doubt lead to some very disappointed punters of the back of it.

Still waiting on my new rods

In reply to Post #19
Hopefully not for 6 months like most people seem to wait. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised.😀🤔🙁

Got mine after 6 weeks and quality as good as I hoped 👌

Have they told you why the delay - how long has it been?

These guys are worth avoiding. I waited 14 months for my rods.
I will never use them again. They do how ever make a good rod, but you honestly roll a dice on what level of customer service you receive.
My last two builds have been from Resilure. Top notch service.

Read the reviews online then get your money back.

Loads of people paid and never received any rods, then had do charge backs via their bank.

If you take £1,200 off loads of people the interest on a big chunk of money can be very lucrative.

Recently ordered a custom set. Been pretty good communication wise on fb. But I was messaging tom direct as he had done my previous rods back in the day. Anyway rods arrived after a 6 weeks or so and they are unreal. However there was one minor gripe that played with my ocd, he was good as gold about them having them back and he said he would not invoice me till 100% happy. I decided to "reject" them as he calls it. Haven't paid a penny yet, they are sitting in my hallway waiting to be collected by UPS. so credit where it is due the service, communication has been great. And I wouldn't think twice about using them again as they are at the top of the game build wise.

I should have added to my post below, I didn't pay a deposit. Paid in full when I collected them and confirmed I was happy.

I also told Tom I wasn't in a hurry - expecting to get them in the autumn, but they were ready in 6 weeks and they've all been christened 👌

My place allows 4 rods in the winter, so I'll be getting a fourth matching rod and second utility rod from them soon in the hope of a quick delivery again, even though it's not vital.

The R1FT is a lovely blank too

Totally agree, I was ignored for months and then only when I got Toms personal number and advised regards legal action did I get anywhere. Would not recommend them and never again.

After all the past experiences of forum members I'm gobsmacked that anyone on here uses them for the first time, especially considering the other excellent rod builders dotted around.

People are obviously not reading the reviews online. Build quality issues are also now being reported.

I was about to approach them about a new set of rods as they are 20 minutes up the road from me, which would be handy. But having read reviews and posts on here I’ll be going back to Kev Clayton who I know is spot on.

Ones he built me are spot on. Just the spigot on one doesnt push in a as far as other 2. (Like 2mm) Common thing in carp rods, not something most would care about id imagine but it plays with my ocd. Still not been collected. 1500 quid sitting in my hallway. 😂
Just been delivered some cirrus rods which is owned by elevate supplies ltd, i believe max cottis is involved on rod side. And now you buy 3 you get a free adjustable net. Unreal build quality, super slim blank. very impressed and a quarter of price including a net worth a look for sure if still in market for rods...🔥
