After a long time coming the new EXCLUSIVE to Cotswold Rods Harrison blanks are here. Called the XX111 we believe these to be the very best all round carp rod ever made. It is handmade by Harrison and us in the UK. Never before has a rod capable of casting this far felt so good and so at home down the edge! Beautifully finished blank with endless custom options, this rod WILL blow you away. It really is that good. Contact us for more details or to arrange to try it out for yourself.

Following a request from a customer to build a V111 with no shiny stainless trimmings we set about having some black delrin collars machined to finish this rod and i have to say the results are superb!

‘Beneath the waves’
Introducing ‘The Revealer’
A unique and purpose built marker rod.
When we set out to build the ultimate marker rod, we sat down with a broad spectrum of anglers and discussed what requirements they thought were essential.
The culmination of these ideas is our new marker rod – ‘The Revealer’

For most specimen anglers, the marker rod is probably the most important tool in their tackle. Without knowing what underwater features lie beneath the waves, bait placement and even swim choice can be a lottery. Most lakes (especially where we are based on the CWP) have a huge number of differing features, some more obvious than others, some more productive than others. Finding these features can mean the difference not just between a blank and catching, but between an average and an exceptional season.
The Revealer will help you to locate these underwater features with greater ease than ever before.
Features of The Revealer include

• Stiff tip to aid feel through your braided mainline
• 4lb test curve with a progressive action, easy to wind up for a long cast
• Plate reel seat to aid feel through the rod
• Painted tip to aid vision when pulling back
• Your choice of 40 or 50mm ringing pattern
• Depth markings at 6 inches, 1 foot and 2 foot to enable quicker plumbing
Of course, being expert custom builders, Cotswold Rods can alter these rods to suit you too.
We use a plate reel seat to keep your hands in direct feel with the carbon. If you don’t like this, no problem, we can build your rod with a standard Fuji seat at no extra cost.
If you would like your tip painted orange instead of white, or left black, no problem.
To buy one of these awesome marker rods, or to arrange to come at test one at our test venue in the Cotswold Water Park, feel free to give either Tom or Dan a call or email, we would be pleased to talk to you.
Prices start at £150.

After a long time in development we are proud to say we have our new landing nets perfected.

We believe these to be the best on the market. The are super light, extremely stiff, and built to last, using only the best quality materials. The arms are 42 inch, with a soft, medium depth green mesh. Comes complete in a Thinking Anglers net bag. The net is easy to manoeuvre through water, and easy to put together and dismantle quickly.

The nets can be customised to your specification should you require.
