Bloke rods and blanks

[bibio1]

I have a Harrison 10ft 5wt and it's a brilliant rod. Not sure about bloke at all. Happy to trial.

Thanks for the replies folks, sorry I was a bit slow in responding I was away landing a rather fine 8lber with the wife  :lol:

Congratulations Andy - cock or a hen? 

For the time and effort that I expect is needed to build your own rod I'd be going for the Harrison as well. I've no experience of them but anything I've heard about them has been good.

 :lol: a lovely little hen!

I'd never heard of them John but that's why I put the post up, as always the forum knows best!
Paul not sure there's a rod you don't own  :lol: think it's a 10' 5 wt I'll do, if it's not a hassle bring it along when we meet up.

No problem I'll bring both. Congratulations on all fronts

You got me thinking that this may be a good winter project, any suggestions for the accessories (handle, eyes).

I may try putting a #6 if I can find a decent mid action blank

Andy,

If you want a loan of the electric rotation tool etc just let me know.

That would be magic paul, I've been looking at them but wasn't sure about buying one in case I don't want to do it again. Was just going to make a simple turner and hand do it but that would be a bonus, if I like doing it I'll buy one. Cheers

Johnny I got my components here, a supplier on Etsy who's stuff looked nice.

Got the blank from meadow fishery who sell a lot of rod building stuff and seem pretty good. There's rodsandblanks as well.
I've looked at a lot of YouTube stuff that's been helpful, I'll post up some links at some point.

Somehow I missed this thread.

Congratulations Andy on both new arrivals.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of both and please send my regards to your better half.
