charlieg 15 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The Daiwa Basia rods are over £500 each, and the Hutchy dream makers are £600 plus. There are probably a few others too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willi4692 18 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I paid £200+ each for my Century NG's and I absolutely love them. Had them for five years now and I can't imagine using another rod. salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkpiker 1 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 http://www.rodhutchinsoncarpbaits.com/prodotto.php?id=1003 About £750 in English money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.O.F. 26 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Of the British made rod blank makers I think that you must mean Harrison's from Liverpool, as North Western Rods (Manchester based) went down years ago. In addition you might also consider Daiwa up in Lanarkshire and House of Hardy who own the Greys concern who are based in Alnwick. BOF Edited July 17, 2014 by B.O.F.

Had them for five years now and I can't imagine using another rod. Good man Willi, I am the proud owner of 2 Century Armalites, brilliant rods, better than any foreign rubbish. Century Armalites, SP's, NG's and FMJ's, used 'em all and loved 'em. The FMJ's were heavy, but boy could they blast a lead a very long way willi4692 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bivvystreet 317 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 like to think so buddy, anyway my X Flites sing the national anthem everytime I haul one in, British rods are the best, not sure about where Daiwa source there blanks. britain i believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nordle 2 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 i thought the greys were just cheap chineese tat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newmarket 2,078 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 i thought the greys were just cheap chineese tat? Grey's are owned by Hardy who i BELIEVE source their blanks here . Well scotland to be precise , as do Daiwa . Of course i may be wrong but im pretty sure im not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bivvystreet 317 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 after a bit of googling seems greys and cheaper daiwa are made in far east and top end daiwa are uk made. but as above that could also be wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bivvystreet 317 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 just to add i reckon most rods these days are of a decent quality and if looked after will last the distance newmarket 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bivvystreet 317 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 except dragon carp stuff,stevie wonder could see that stuff ain't built to last Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nordle 2 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 if its made in the uk, firms are pretty quick to get a union jack on their goods somewhere.i was under the impression that the top end free spirit and daiwa were japanese made newmarket 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newmarket 2,078 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I think they are mate , but the japs source their carbon from korea or somewhere around that part of the world Japanese Edited July 19, 2014 by newmarket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nordle 2 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 i know most of the top end carbon cloth is japanese, pretty sure all the cloth century use is from mitsubishi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
