Does anyone know of any good rod builders with a bit of capacity? I'm after some full duplon handles fitting to 3 rods and 3 line clips. Happy to post but based in Kent, been quoted 12 weeks so was hoping someone could squeeze in sooner

Dave Lumb is worth a shout. He can turn things round quite quickly and does a great job. He'll do any kind of custom work you want. Else, Vic Gibson but you'll have a long wait...

Surely quick turn around means little business, and potentially because of lesser quality. Sometimes
Waiting is worthwhile. And if you know what you want. Why not go further afield.
Kev clayton has a great reputation. Built my rods. And helped me out advice wise when i had a **** build with another “builder”. Very honest aswell. Advised me against black fuji reel seats. But i knew best. Now wish id have listened.

Nothing wrong with lumby's builds ! One of only a few builders that harrisons will supply his own range of blanks to . He is in lancs though so is further afield .

East Coast Rods (?) from Clacton look to do some lovely rebuilds. I've not used him yet, but will be in the future.

Anyone got a number for Steve White?. I don't do Facebook and seems to be the only way to message him.
