if anyone hasn,t seen the rods Bob builds for BFW then click on the rods box and then click on the custom options bit, enough goodies to tempt even the most anti tackle tart angler;)
honestly the only descriptive i can give some of it is truly beautiful:):):)
cough cough cough a discount would be nice but i know i wont get one:D:D
Bob take a bow mate, a bit of a wait but oh what a glorious end product:).
 
I concur superb tools designed for the task and finished to the highest standard. :)
 
Top rods from what i've seen, I don't have any BFW sticks but I have custom builds on Harrison blanks and they are superb......

Someone should start a "Which is the best ring set" or "which is the best whipping colour" or "which is the best torrix blank colour" thread :p
 
I do, in fact I have 4 Torrix rods, 2 pairs and they are simply excellent. Bob Gill is a master craftsman and a truly nice bloke. If you want to treat yourself buy a Torrix based rod.

...or, if you prefer to fish with rods that are not pokers, get an i-Power ;)

Or even a custom made Barbel Seeker.:)
Bob's craftmenship is pretty good though...I have seen Jez's rods!
 
the fish don't know, but the neighbors don't know what painting you have on the wall, but i would prefer a original Picasso than a cheap print.
 
A mate of mine has one and it is a work of art, it really is. Works as good as it looks.

Mark, you have a lovely rod mate.....:)
 
i have seen jez's rods & have been tempted to treat myself to a couple.......(still am really)
they are a not only a good rod but the finishing touch's are a bonus...names, photos etc can be put on them very nice rods indeed.

Steady on Mick !

The rod that Bob made for me is my pride & joy - beautifully made and a joy to use.
Would thoroughly recommend any angler, wishing to treat themselves, to buy one - a lovely thing to have.

Thanks again Bob !
