Just seen the promo for new Fox buzz bars, wow that style is currently being done by many at the moment and all claiming to be the creator. Any one else think this is just getting ridiculous now?

I've not seen them but as with everything in life we'll get as little bang for our buck as they can get away with. That's the only reason we've been stuck with pinned alarm holders etc and straight bars for so long. If you think what cnc machine can do the possibilities are endless for those who want something different but is the demand there for the cost, probably not.

I've had stuff, angling and otherwise made, and it's always about what not there to get what is. Having said that it's the tooling and setting up cost that's a problem for bespoke, volume reduces that and tackle companies could do that if they wanted to, ESP doing it most recently, but they know what margin they want which would probably push it out of range monetarily wise.

I think your refering to Jamie's stuff at Custom but the idea goes way back -prob Gardner.

Nope, I've no idea who that is or the company

It was more a generalised comment re the lack of style to nearly every pod/bars/sticks out there and ESP's newer stuff which looked to me like some custom stuff I'd seen in passing on the net, no idea who's

Have a look at Dobbins Bobbins on Facebook if you want something different & stylish.

Not having seen the mentioned. I'm not quite sure what you are on about. But there's really only so much you can do with a buzz bar. Basically a bar with spaced attachments to attach your alarms or rod rest. Apart from maybe making them look like an ornate candelabra or something, there ain't a lot you can do..

Does he? Didn't know that 👍

I'll take a sneaky ( hopefully not expensive) look

Had a quick look at Google returned images as I don't like going on FB, certainly different to the norm, though stylish I guess is in the eye of the beholder, it's not for me.
Are you sure?
