Nice one Richard - Congrats.

Absolutely, mine served me faithfully for years on the Bristol Avon....... Cheers Bob

The Triptych blank discussed has now become available if interested.

Got all of them here, all made up and ready to go and I'm not saying a word.:cool: I have my 'Avon' hat at the moment and putting bends in 11' Torrix (Avon) 1.5, 11' Avon 1lb 6oz and 11' Chimera Avon 1.25 and having fun. Cheers Bob

Nice fish and well done on the capture. Well deserved. Cheers Bob

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...
