All done for a reason as mentioned.
Who ever looks at the tip section on a rod anyway. If its cosmetic looks your after. Your eyes are naturally drawn to the butt section. The reel seat, handle, whippings,decals etc..

Because as i said Harrison develop the best blanks for the job desired. A 13ft blank will not be the same as a 9 ft . The carbon walls differ . Butt sections are thicker stiffer etc . Just because a blank has a 1k weave does,nt mean its better than one that does,nt . Horses for courses.A torrix blank will do different things and act differently to an aviator,trebuchet etc .Harrison and century dont make blanks just to look nice .

Great information, thanks.
So why aren't all Harrison blanks like this?
I know Torrix blanks are like this but Aviators aren't?

Opinions are like ##@#** as they say, we all have them and like wise all want certain things from a rod, finding the perfect fit for you is the tricky bit. Of course it helps if you know exactly what you want from the rod and how you are going to use it but I still think it's disappointing that you can't try before you buy unless you know someone with to he rod your interested in or are on very good terms with a shop that is willing to let you try one.

Make that a sticky. Same as Century, and they have done for years. The rest are “catching the masses”
By a rod for a reason, not the next trend

Harrison develop the best blanks for the job intended . Its a unidectional tip which aids recovery . In the development they used various tip sections inc 1k weave and this was the best in steve and fieldtesters opinion.

It's a bit disappointing that Harrison haven't included 1k weave to the tip section on the Telos, especially at this price point.

As much as I do rate sonik rods, they really won't be comparable. Nobody makes blanks as good as Harrison imo

Oooh, and now Sonik have released a custom option for 100 a pop.
Makes it 3 4 1 versus Harrison.

I have torrix 10fts 2 piece and 12fts also have korum retractables which I don't mind leaving in the boot at 85 a pair
I have thought of getting Harrison retractables
But do i really want to leave £400 rods in boot definitely not
So I think retractables have a place which is cheap enough not to worry about them
So if I am only going to leave Harrison retractable in house and loading in car when going fishing
So might as well use the ones I have

That's a good question, with everyone trying to cash in on it and take the working man's money, I would say a matter of days or weeks before the next best thing comes along

Fad... they said that when Nash bought out there scopes. That was ten plus years ago. Most tackle company's have them in there range.. they seem to be doing alright for a fad..
