They are an excellent company. Their after sales care and servicing is excellent. I wish more tackle companies were specialised/niche like this. They just do scales to an high standard instead of copying everyone and doing everything! ATB

Upstream for me! A mate and I have doubled up in a swim quite a few times this year and out of the 7 bites we've had between us; 6 have come to the upstream rod. Not conclusive in anyway but backs up my theory that upstreaming is the best presentation on a river. ATB
