Because I had trust that he would carry out the work. I've used him previously and I know he's a good bloke. I had contact with him every two months almost with a reason Behind the delays and I went on the promise made to have them completed “in the next few weeks” which never happened. Then radio silence due to his circumstances. Not sure about you but I feel I was patient enough.
As it has been left after speaking to him yesterday the same promise was made, I did tell him in his situation that family comes first but it is just the reel knobs to fit according to Gary. It was this or him undo all the work already done and send them back. Which probably would take longer to do than finish them off tbh. Hopefully it will all be resolved and he will finish and send them back and I'll pay the bill.

That's fair enough and hope it turns out to be the case

I agree family come before anything but there was no harm in contacting him telling him he had problems and there would be a delay.

Been thinking bout getting my isos done for a while now after reading this thread it's making me think twice,who else is there out there I want to have my spools and handles black anodized and serviced?
Garry did 2 lots of 3 reels for me recently. Excellent service and communication.
Sorry to hear of those having problems I'm sure it's just a blip.

Any more update on Custom Reels ? Is Gary still servicing reels ?
Used them before without issues great professional service.

Has anyone had any work done recently by Garry? I need some clips fitting and I've emailed him but I know he might take a few days to get back

I emailed him late last year and he didn't get back to me. Not sure if he's still going tbh. I'd used him for work half a dozen times before that and he always made contact within a couple days.

That's a shame. Anyone know if the Weston Developments clips are of the same standard?
I bought some Tournie spools second hand once which had small black clips (smaller than Garry's) that were very loose. Don't know who's clips they were or who fitted them but they were utter rubbish.

Does anyone who knows him personally know if things are ok. Have used him a lot in the past and was always quick and seemed a very genuine guy.
He replied this morning so clearly still in business. Sadly I've already arranged to have the clips done elsewhere. Based on my own dealings I can't recommend him highly enough, very knowledgable and even passionate about what he does.

Sounds like I will need to find a new servicing company, shame has his work has been spot on in the past and he was great with providing timelines.
I have emailed him and called him leaving a voicemail last week still no response.

Had my ISOs serviced, I really didn't rate them when I first got them, thought my Tournies where better until I had them serviced by Garry
