That’s all the information I have at present. We should know more once they list them in November.

Sweet silver lining as was supposed to order some new retractable customs last month but the rod builder never sent me an invoice then told me he’d cancelled the invoice he didn’t send for some reason. Will get some of these built by John Hennessy next year.

Did they say how much the blanks will cost and are they going to offer standard builds direct from them?

Just a quick update.

Steve Harrison has confirmed the 10ft 3 1/4lb and 10ft 3 1/2lb TC rods should be available around mid November.

Lower test curves will follow.

9ft models will be next year.

Oooh, sorry. I thought it was all about catching fish 🤔.

Must be where I've been going wrong 😂😂

Yep, could probably get the Sonik rod unbranded on Temu for half that price too. I thought the convo was about top end price rods not the anglers ability to catch

My Soniks cost £45 each, probably made with child labour and caught me as many as a Harrison rod would 👍

You undersold them and missed the best bit, MADE IN BRITAIN....o.k...Liverpool...can't be 100% right

Seriously though, if we even say the rods we're equalish on price (top end) and as good as each other playing wise I wouldn't even consider anything than Harrison. If they were equalish on price you'd also have to ask yourself how much more the company that uses Chinese labour is taking the micky, espesh given volume.

The new fox Ti retractable 8-10ft must be worth a look, seem to fit the bill.

I get what you mean but I was referring to a demand for a custom built option on a Harrison blank rather than the overall demand for retractable rods. Anyone looking at a Harrison rod is probably aware the price will be top end.
