My thoughts and news on rod building, fishing tackle and life in general.
by Steve Harrison

Wednesday 23rd December 2009

It is hard to believe it is ten years since the Y2K panic and the excitement of the new Millenium. It has been an interesting time for us as a company and rather than bore you with all the details, I will simply say that the millenium has ended really well for us as a company, despite the recession, and for that I thank you, our customers. It would not have been possible of course without a small but dedicated workforce who are as committed as I am to making better fishing rods and thanks to them as well. For 2010 we have some exciting plans for new product and are hopeful that I can start telling you more about those early in the new year.

The factory closes today and will reopen 4th January.

So all that remains is to say Happy Chrismas and see you all in the new year.

Dear Angler,

I started Harrison Advanced Rods in 1989 because I wanted to source better blanks for the rods I was building. Nineteen years on, we make tens of thousands of rods and blanks each year for anglers who take their sport seriously. We are most famous form Carp Rods, but we make so much more. We do not follow fashion - we prefer to lead technically. We led with overfit joints, 40 Ton carbon, 3k and 1k fabrics, and today we still lead with higher modulus and lightweight carbons combined with lower resin content. We are one of the few companies that still make rods and blanks in the UK. Not because we want to preserve UK manufacturing (though that is a pretty good reason), but because I believe we can produce better fishing rods here in my Liverpool factory where I can see every rod blank being rolled from my office window. The guys who work for me are as committed as myself. Every person who is involved in making Harrison Rods loves fishing. Our production is tight and controlled. You cannot get that same level of control if you subcontract your manufacturing overseas.

Every year we produce new designs and the Torrix range of carp rods and Lorhic Fly blanks are at the forefront of carbon technology, but more important they have the advantage that they are designed and made by the most experienced team in the game. Classics like Chimera and Ballista are still hard to beat for many applications. We all eat and breathe rods and blanks and we stretch ourselves to be the best. That is why we are busier than ever making some of the worlds best rods. The only downside of our rods is that you will not find them in every shop. Please contact me if you need help finding the best dealer and if its just a blank you need we will supply direct.

Harrison Advanced Rods also manufacture in carbon fibre and kevlar for industry and other high performance sporting applications.

Good fishing,

Dr. Steve Harrison
