Something a bit different – this is what a shipment of cork looks like! We have excellent connections to our cork manufacturer in Portugal. These are all “super” grade cork grips (the finest available) that have just arrived today, for HT fly rods.
I shall be visiting their factory in Cascais later this year, when my sister and I race in a Half-Ironman triathlon in their local sea-side town 🙂
”Casting the HT4 is pure pleasure, great line control and super dependable. Perfect efficiency in the rod. I like the understated looks of the rods, it surely beats the other alternatives out there recently… more and more rods these days look like “lipstick on a pig!”. Lee does an outstanding job. The devil is in the details… and the fit and form is far more important than any sparkles and shiny junk that tries to hide all that. Lee the perfectionist shows through these rods.”
Fred Paddock – HT4, 6 and 8 Owner.
This a custom HT6 that is on its way to Germany. Personalised grip, thread colour, name and even tracked shipping are all included in the retail price.
Every rod also includes a free casting lesson from me. August 25-26 all HT owners are welcome to attend a fly casting weekend in Coggeshall, Essex, where you will receive 1-1 as well as group fly casting lessons from me, for free.
Our repair warranty is simple. For 70GBP we will replace any broken section. This includes return shipping from us (not shipping to us). For 150GBP we will strip your rod to the cork, replace any worn rings and rebuild it to our beautifully precise standards. For 100GBP (excluding shipping) we can send you a spare tip so that you always have a spare.
Here is Rainer’s stunning HT…

I’ve recently started competition fly casting and in the process I have gotten the chance to cast more rods in the last 18 months than in had since I had started fly fishing.
My fishing has improved too with the ability to be more consistent and to have more range and accuracy and get to fish that I might not have had a chance at without all the casting practice.
Now then, for the last ten days I have been lucky enough to be on North Andros in the Bahamas. However, the weather here has been the wettest and windiest May for the last five years. Which meant it was difficult to spot the Bonefish and equally challenging to get the fly in front of them quickly enough.
This is where the 8wt Hot Torpedo came in to its own! What a rod! Accurate, powerful, light weight but with plenty of finesse to protect your tippet on the Bonefish’s first blistering run.
This trip has proved what I had been thinking since I first picked up the Hot Torpedo. It’s the best fishing 8wt I’ve ever used. In fact it’s a pleasure to cast and fight fish with.
You can tell by the pictures how “nice” the weather is. It looks more like the west of Scotland in February! However a lot warmer!
Anyway, if you get the chance to try a Sexyloops Hot Torpedo 8wt, you won’t regret it, in fact, it could transform your fishing experience.
