Dave Bone custom rod builder

Shout out and credit to this guy, I'd kept him in mind for a build as he was mentioned on here a couple of years back, GE I think.

Had a couple of Chimera 3's made up by Dave last autumn, asked for his standard build plus keeper rings plus sight tips.

Really happy with the rods, excellent build quality and finish plus he was a pleasure to deal with.

Based Ross on Wye area I believe and I contacted him through Facebook.

One of them had a Thames outing on Monday, perfect rod for current conditions but blanked unfortunately, at least I didn't christen it with a chub though first time out!

Yes, Dave is a good guy...

Repaired a Hardy float rod that a carp did me on..

Annoying thing was it was about 1/3 of the size of others I had landed on it!

Dave is on FB but if anyone wants his number send me a PM
 
Another shout out for Dave, lucky having him on the doorstep. He's done a great job rectifying mishaps on both my Chimera 3's 👍
