Cotswold Rods

This is the future.

This set of rods features a full carbon build — with no traditional thread work in sight.

Over the last few months, we’ve been trialling a brand-new product: Air Carbon Mesh.

The goal? To completely replace conventional thread wraps with a cleaner, lighter and more advanced carbon finish.

It’s a huge step forward, and something we’ve tried developing behind the scenes for a very long time.

We now have multiple sets out on test, and the early results have been seriously impressive.

I’ll admit, I was initially sceptical as to whether the mesh would stand up to the demands of heavy carp rods — but so far, it has proven to be every bit as strong as traditional thread work, if not stronger.

Alongside that, I’ve spent countless hours refining the application and resin process to get the finish exactly where it needed to be.

I think you’ll agree… it’s now absolutely dialled in.

Salmon rods are a personal favourite of mine.

There’s something special about knowing they’ll be held for hours with pure anticipation — every cast measured, every movement deliberate, all in pursuit of that one take.

That’s exactly why we craft our salmon rods using only the finest components and materials, ensuring they not only perform flawlessly on the water, but feel exceptional in the hand too.

Shown here is this stunning Beaufort Special, recently completed as part of a bespoke auction prize package. Finished with understated detailing and premium cork, it’s a rod designed to be fished hard and appreciated for years to come.

A custom-built trout or salmon rod makes an incredible gift for any serious angler — something truly personal, built to their exact style of fishing.
