[Alex Warren]

Just picked two of these up. To say I’m pleased with them is an understatement! They’re works of art, in my opinion. Mark Tunley is absolute delight to deal with, a true gent.

[Terry Simner]

Hi S SU's are THE best rods I've ever used, by some distance. You'll love using them/catching on them.

Wow Alex they are a nice spec. I must say those K series guides can’t be matched imo
I Wouldn’t look at another ring on a custom rod now.
50mm of tip isotope eh. Now that is a first. The 25’s are bright on their own so take your sunnys won’t ya .
It’s a personal preference thing but I’m not a Hi-s lover at all for barbel, I much prefer the S series personally as barbel tools. However lots of people swear by them and you will love em I’m sure.
MT is a fantastic builder and such a pleasure to deal with too. Hope you christen them soon. (With barbel not bream)
