I have tried swapping them about and none of them fit. I deffo haven't mixed them up as there all numbered there's a 1. On one section and a 1. On the other. 2. On another section and 2. On another. 3. And 3. on the remaining rod. In reply to the person who said use spray or wax it's tight enough as it is so I don't want to add to it. I have heard people reccomend this when there having probs with the tip section spinning or coming off. If anything It needs some carbon shaving off/ sanding or however it needs to be done. It's just a pain as I'm working away through the week and hes only in the workshop in the week and not at weekends when I'm home 😢 it might be a job of sending the rod too him or booking of a holiday from work to take the rod. I just hope it's a quick job or it's going to be another pain if it can't be done that day to collect. Just don't know what to do.

I've just been thinking that I don't know how much it matters but I've always kept them the same as they come as they have a little painted 1. On the but section and a 1. On the tip section. Same for 2 and 3. I have messaged the builder who said to bring them to see him. But I'll try this suggestion if it works it saves me a hour trip 👍

Hi all could you help me I had some Harrison aviator plus Rods made and I've used them about 10 times but ever since I had them there is a difference on how far they push on at spigot where they join together. I would say maybe a inch difference. I presumed this is because they were brand new and they would go on more over time. I know I should of took them back to him to be sorted but the last year or so has been tough (not going to go into that) but it's kept me from fishing over this period. I've just popped in to say is there anything I could do to sort it myself so it pushes on further without getting it stuck on there permanently lol Tia Rich.

Does anybody know what size the tiny silver screws are that you undo to get to the propellers. I had a nightmare in France which meant I had to change the propellers back to the originals. But I didn't have the right screwdriver so made a bit of a mess and rounded a couple off. I would like to replace them just don't know the size.

Hello carpers long story short is my dad passed away early this year and the only thing I got that is sentimental to me is a set of aviator 2's he brought me. they were custom built by Calvin Hancock. I was just wondering if you know of anything like a end cap I can buy a little bit like the ones with the isotope gaps where you can put a isotope of you wanted. I'm looking for something similar maybe abit larger and some capsules I would be able to fill up with abit of his ashes and put into the end caps on my rods. I don't even know if this is possible I have looked but found nads. I hope one of you guys can help

Yeah I'm glad you wrote that because I was just popping back to say I won't be using it for open water because of other anglers. But yeah in the week it's almost always empty but it's just so I'm not squirrel fishing lol. Thanks for the reply I'll look into that

Hi all hope you can point me in the right direction. I listened to a Nash podcast by Ryan need and Wayne mansford and they talked about the time they were in the bcac at farlows and they used a friend's torch that would light up the island in the dark and make it look like day light.

Now the nights are drawing in alot sooner I'm looking for something like this to help me with my fishing straight from work. I'm fishing up to a island at about 60 - 70 yards and my eye sight isn't the best in the light but I want to be sure I'm putting it in the correct place every time. Does anyone own or know of a torch that can help me with the cast in the dark. Thanks in advance people
