British Blanks
Looking at building a 4/5wt 10 foot rod this winter on a British rod blank...
for a feature for this winter on my own forum....
Does Harrison manufacture one? Current web site says too many blanks to list?

Thanks
Phil

What about David Norwich, some nice blank but just to dear for a first rod.

I dont think they supply direct to the public. If they make one should be able to order from Steve P.

The Norwich rod is an option Harrisons are only 20 miles away from me as well.
to be fair over time I wil ltry and build on both......
Never cast with either so not sure of action or comparison.....
The z-axis was easy to get hold of factory built....
Already built a few rods up step by step Batson and sage z-axis a couple of years ago see link

I am Looking to build British and stick a union jack on it....
I have a few original hardy rods in times of res session its my policy to buy British when I can...
I am not going to get into who manufactures the cloth the blank is made from or who supplies the resin but I do believe we have an obligation in times like these to buy home grown products

Have a look at this site.
I spoken to the guy at the fishery last week and he was very helpfull.
They can supply Harrison blanks direct.

I think Harrison might also do a small union Jack. I think i may have seen it on some of their carp rods.

I get all my harrisons through Fosters of Birmingham. Bob @ Fosters is a fine rod builder of over 25 yrs.
