Had Dave rebuild my tips and have just received them back (he gave me an accurate estimate on the rebuild time). The work he did is first class, they look new.
He kept in touch with me during the process and charged a reasonable amount too.
5 ***** from me.
Thank you Vossy for the recommendation.

I have been shocked by one already

I have 3 Harrison Trebuchet rods that need rebuilding. The tips have gone mliky where they have been set up underwater. The rods were originally built by Fosters and I believe they are fully varnished. The varnish will need stripping and new rings whipped on.
Does anyone have a recommendation who can do this? Have asked Lee Preston, Chris Palmer and Buzzard Rods without sucess.

I'm 4XL in KUMU t shirts and I wish they would make them 2 inches longer. My missus is sick of looking at my belly hanging out!

I feel your pain having also experienced horrendous wind knots after using wrap sticks. I think I have overcome the problem by:

1) Reducing the amount of braid on the spools so it is filled well below the lip
2) Ensuring the braid is wound on tightly to the spool when reeling in from the sticks

I hope this helps.

Ordered 2 from Temu. Both broke at the hinge almost immediately, neither lasted 10 casts.
