yep, i third jim. Cheap and quality for a (literally!) backyard job (if hes still working from his shed- havent gone round to see the old boy a couple of years)
on here "midnitemaniac" i think who builds rods maybe you could arrange to view a couple of his rods and he might be an option. cheers (i have dealt with Jim head before and i also recommend him, he has a good collection of old fishing reels that are quite interesting too!.)
Not sure if Rohan at Bluewater Melville is still building rods. I`ve had a couple made by him and was very happy with the result. On a side note, does anyone know if Jenny from the old "rodwise" is still dabbling in rod making, her thread work was second to none
