Just tried a couple more colours that may be useful. Fluoro Left to Right Yellow, Orange, Green and Pink :cool: Cheers Bob

That's great Julian and no problem building a rod. Thank you for your comments. Probably best to go to PM from now on. Cheers Bob

Got a box of sliding collars - around 25 pair of the plastic GRS ones that I keep as an option. Cheers Bob

Bought a couple of blanks a few years back and Harrison rolled them for me at the time. Cheers Bob

Can build for you - what you got in mind regarding rings, handle etc. Cheers Bob

Got one but in new blank form. Cheers Bob

Should not really pose a problem apart from maybe getting them.

Sorry I assumed you were having it made elsewhere. May have got my wires crossed. Cheers Bob

Should be no problem whatsoever and of small cost unless you want fancy reel seats and fittings. Cheers Bob

Sorry for the delay in answering but I have used all three in fishing situations and the 1.75 is the sweetest for me and never once let me down or given me any concerns. Something special. I'll leave it at that. Cheers Bob

I was told by Harrison years ago that the butt sections differed on the 11' Torrix and how to differentiate between them. However, that was many years ago and things may have changed. Butts as well as tips can be constructed of different carbons. Cheers Bob

Have the specific blank details somewhere on an old computer. Remember Andy being a bit miffed when PB discontinued them and he had to find a suitable substitute(s) from another manufacturer. Cheers Bob

Good shout - plenty of power low down when you need it. Got a pair with double tips and really rate them. Prefer these to my 1.5s. Cheers Bob

Chimera 1 12' 1.5 is a nice rod - there is also the Chimera Avon at 11' 1.25. Will always like the standard 11' Avon 1lb 6oz which is a classic. Cheers Bob

Yes, lots of choice out there and some good rods - usually cheaper too. As you said the Dave Mason rod was great but got discontinued - one of the hazards when dealing with the 'american' market. Full marks to Andy Sliwa for doing the legwork in finding them. Bought some blanks and made them up...

Great choice at 1.5lb test. Built plenty and reliable (like the 1lb 6oz) Cheers Bob

Hi Rob/All, Isotopes are quite fragile as most are glass and quite thin walled. Around 15 to 20 years ago when I was playing with my 'Isoblob' design, I deliberately minimised the contact length of the isotope with the blank together with additionally stiffening the blank at that point. The use...

Relatively easy to do and you can use other colours. Protected by one coat of rod thread epoxy. May yellow with time but easy to renew. Could also use white thread as a under layer for shrink wrap/isotope. Cheers Bob

Small visual aid with whipping thread.

Take it you mean DL 11' P-2's rather than the 14' P-2 Harrisons......
