Yes, Steve told me when I was there. I wonder if he'll split the business when the time comes? Though I can see the benefit of 'fingers in different pies' I can't see a fishing company/collective paying a premium for the extra, though you never know, asset stripping is very popular.

Harrisons produce so much more than just rods/blanks. Canoe paddles yacht parts carbon tubing for all sorts of different companys etc.

I don't think it'll be too long before the reins are passed on, maybe then they'll blitz social media..though...roast me...I hope they don't.
Maybe he's not maximising the business, and could drive it harder, but there's something about social media that sells the soul out and cheapens the product to me. Every man and his dog has the latest thing ready for sale bigged up by consultants (yeah) and tested for years only to fail in mounts of use...then there's Harrisons just quietly getting on with it

What some find bling others may not, I'm actually a bit of a ungrounded fan as I like how it looks and feels and believe it contributes to strength.

Not really. It's function not fashion, why add it if it's not needed?

Century, free spirit don’t weave all the way to the tip, I guess if you added the weave it would probably just make the tip section stiffer and heavier, probably changing the action of the blank it’s like this on my ngs.
It seems more cosmetic that actual benefit to the blank.
