Demand when they're up to a hundred quid yes. Treble that for a telescopic rod is a bit silly don't you think?

That’s what I said to Steve Harrison. There is no high quality custom built option in the retractable market. I think they’ve realised there’s enough demand.

Would be 10ft 3, 3.25 test for me. Don't think there's anything else you need in an all round rod in a retractable. There definitely compact enough.

I'm glad Harrison are looking into it. There's definitely room in the market for high end retractable rods. Everything at the moment is mas produced in the far East.

10ft in either 3.25lb or preferably 3.5lb tc. My choice for when using a bait boat in France making transportation that much easier than traditional 12ft rods (they comfortably fit in the roof box)

I messaged Steve Harrison regarding the possibility of Harrison building retractable blanks and he came back to me saying they’re currently discussing it. I think it’s early days but he told me to give him a couple of months.

I’ll post more information when I get it but if they were available can I ask what length and test curve are do you prefer in retractable rods?
