I have done a search but can't find what I'm looking for.
There was a thread on spod rods recently and as well as the usual Free Spirit / Tackle Box / Shimano recommendations, another rod was recommended that sounded pretty good. Might have been on a Harrison blank?
Can anybody help please? Thanks in advance.

On the Harrison website they only mention a 12ft 6 ins version so I take it that those shops advertising 12ft and 13ft versions are getting them custom made by somebody?

Nope, they are factory built in those lengths. I have the 13 foot one, ordered one day and arrived the next.

No mate, Johnson Ross. But rest assured they are factory build. Tbh I don't think Harrison sell directly(I may be wrong but I'd be surprised).

Yeah they are all the same mate. The Harrison website isn't updated much . I've had mine next to one bought from elsewhere and it is identical. If you dont mind waiting you could probably get a custom one built a bit cheaper tbh,

Would you say the version with the Ti rings is worth the extra money?

What's the Raven Edition? Is it just a different reel seat, and should I just go for the normal 13 ft version?
Also, are the American Tackle Vortex ring set the rings that jeffire says to steer clear of?
