Darren at Resilure rods is a very good rod builder. His work is definitely on par with Bob Gills quality workmanship.

Dave Lumb would be my first port of call. Very helpful, knowledgeable and very good value.

If you want a fishing rod and not an ornament, Dave Lumb, not knocking any others (I can't, having no experience of them) but Dave makes a good rod, he'll build it to your preferred spec regarding rings, Cork etc. I've had quite a lot of rods made by Dave and all are excellent.

Comes highly recommended and his quality is outstanding. Great communicator too.

*I had two made but one of them had an argument with my 2-tonne garage vice and lost, so I ended up having three made in the end.
