I was looking at that Harrison on your site last night. It looks the dogs danglers and I'm sure it has the performance to match.

Hi Koi

The Harrison is a lovely rod. If you know the Lorhic blank and you like them its a peach. The Fuji's only added 1.6g to the total weight and are not only functional but they are beautiful too. The chrome on them is flawless.

I built it for a customer who wasn't able to afford it after losing his job poor bloke. Its not as fast as my FT rods (nothing is!!) but would make a great boat/stillwater rod.

I won't be building another anytime soon as the blanks are like rocking horse sh*t.

Cheers

Steve

I don't know the blank but I have used Harrison blanks before and have always been impressed. I'm tempted I've got to say!

Hi Munro

Thanks for the compliment. However I got the lakes and spent the time I had available.....before the school run.....demoing a rod. Never even got a pull!! Oh well.

If you like fast, smooth powered rods maybe give one a trial??

Cheers

Steve

They are lovely looking rods, When you consider the price of Sonik Rod now is about £200 for the latest model, The price is good just a pity I prefer a more medium action rod

Hi PTFC


If you like a more medium action then the Harrison is nice.

I'm a fast action type of fella (oooh er misus!) and I love casting the FT's.

If you have another blank you like I'm happy to build one for you on it.

Regards

Steve
