I think the fella you're referring to is the gentleman that passed away not long ago as he also did my Conoflex last year

There must be a different guy doing it all now

George is doing the work for Lewis's since the death of Billy Brown, who used to do all their work. He did a very good job re-whipping an old Apollo tip section for me recently - matches the butt perfectly.

Cheers, Gary

PS. BTW, there is now a memorial plaque on Blyth Pier to Billy, highlighting the "X" mark, one of his favourite shots.

bought a stripped conoflex cod 6 with 2 tip sections which i got varnished and re-rung at frasers total cost was only £120 when i got it back it looked like new. varnish two tips and butt 2sets of rings and new diamond shrink wrap fitted well happy with the price. Recommend them to anyone for repair. Even put a tip ring on a rod in the shop for a £5 for me
