Harrison Rods – Our Story

Harrison rods opened it’s doors in Liverpool in 1989. The fishing rod world was starting to realise the potential of carbon fibre and our mission was to use this new material to make the best rods and blanks for the demanding angler. 

Although we have grown in the past 30 plus years, the philosophy has not changed, and every rod and blank is still made in the UK.

The Harrison brand has grown largely by word of mouth to be respected all around the world because of quality and performance. We also aim to be the best at customer service. If you buy a Harrison rod you become part of a family  and are guaranteed spares and customer support for years to come.

At Harrisons we like to stress our traditional values of craftsmanship but that is only half the story. We also have a programme of research and innovation that keeps us ahead.  We led the field in introducing overfit joints when spigots were the fashion. Ballista was the first slim carp blank, and Torrix brought in high modulus carbon with light carbon scrims.

We design and make all the rod blanks ourselves at a time when so many brands have outsourced that skill, and that makes all the difference. We do not make bait, luggage or terminal tackle, we are focussed on making very good fishing rods. We are the rod specilalist!
