Does anyone know If Garry still running custom reels as you never hear of them anymore and his work was superb. His facebook page hasnt been updated since 2017.

If you want custom work done on reels look up F.A.F Customz on Facebook or their website fafcustomz.co.uk

Used Garry at custom reels a few times back in the day and his work was superb. He even went to the lengths of getting his car paint sprayer mate to mix him up a little bit of candy apple red paint to paint the tiny groove on my castizm handle spindle as he wasnt happy with the colours he had as they didnt match perfectly. I dont know many people who would go to those lengths.

Garry has had a lot of private matters to attend to for quite a while now. I am not sure if he is back to doing what he does best yet, but it's always worth a try. He is the best in the reel servicing/ customising business and would always be my 1st choice
