Just wanted to say how impressed I am with my Darent Valley LSG 11ft rods. Grabbed a set a few weeks ago after a few years of sitting on the fence. A very unique rod perfect for heaver float fishing with lobworms or light ledgering prawns etc. Thanks for the great service and I am pleased to say I landed my PB perch on them first session going 3.9 cheers guys

I have now had the chance use my Chimera no4’s (received in December) on multiple sessions leading up to the end of the river season and wanted to give you a little additional feedback.
I am delighted with the rods and all aspects of the build have worked out exactly as I had hoped; plus the quality is excellent!
In terms of performance, they are magnificent, especially in their ability to handle big leads and feeders on rivers like the Trent. As a measure – with a good firm cast I could put both 5oz and 8oz feeders beyond 64 yards with some in reserve.
For fish playing they are more powerful than any other 2.75lb TC rods I have used. Whist this is probably a positive it has necessitated some acclimatisation for me.
I have now caught a total of 57 barbel on them (15 in double figures) so have had time to gel with the rods. Initially I did suffer a few hook pulls, which although unusual for me, does happen from time to time. Subsequently, I have not suffered hook pulls. My last 26 fish have been landed without a single hook pull (using size 10 hooks).
So I don’t think the Chimera no4 has an issue in this respect but it might be fair to say that some anglers like me might need a bit of time to adjust to the additional power compared to what they had been using (in my case Fox Duolite 2.75lb 12’).
Thanks again for your help, service and workmanship!
Very best wishes.

I have no idea how you do it but you really are a remarkable outfit. The rods I bought are absolutely stunning and the service out of this world. Order placed Thursday and delivered Friday .... OUTSTANDING!!

Hi, I received my rods and I have only got one rod out as I have had surgery today wasn't feeling that great. However, the rods and the build has absolutely exceeded my expectations. They are a thing of beauty and every single measurement and detail has been included. The length of the handles are perfect and nothing I asked for was too much trouble.
Thank you so much, and I would definitely recommend you guys!!
Kindest regards David Eatock

Received my new rods on Tues and finally got round to opening them yesterday evening
and was absolutely blown away by them,
Would it be possible for you to pass on my thanks to Gary and the gentleman that built them as they've properly cheered my up in what's been a pretty crap start to my year.
