Customer comments on the bfw i-power

Matt Holt December 2007

Just to let you know that my rod arrived safely yesterday, i cannot tell you how impressed i am with it!!, it's an absolute work of art!!, The finish and overall look and feel of the rod is like no other i have ever had the fortune to hold... let alone own!!!! Many thanks to Bob for his expert workmanship, I shall let you all know when i have christened it with a Barbus!


Andy Kinsey December 2007

Many thanks for the I-Power rod, although I haven't been able to get out and use it due to having to work all the time, it looks and feels beautiful and i'm itching to get out there and give it a go.
 
Could you pass my thanks onto Bob, he is a master rod builder. Also thanks for the smooth buying process, highly recommended.

Phil Brooks September 2007

I received my new rod on Tuesday and I am truly delighted with it. It's everything I was hoping it would be and made exactly to the specifications we agreed.
The rod is slim and light but oozes power and the tips are amazing. I love the graphics and can't wait to christen it on Sunday. I have no excuses now!!

First class customer service from start to finish and amazing craftsmanship, I'm over the moon with it.

Stuart Garrison August 2007

OH WOW...The rod has arrived and it looks absolutely stunning! Just thought you would like to know I had an 'opportunist window' yesterday evening after work and 1st chuck and 20 minutes later, bang! The i-power did what it said on the tin and my pb is now 9.00lb on the nose - still searching for that elusive double! The rod was just oozing class and power and always had plenty in reserve.


Tony Milan July 2007

Just a big thank you for the rod. Used it for the first time last night with the river up and running fast. Took a large chub followed later by a PB barbel of 12lb 2oz. what a start! could not have wished for more. The feel of the rod is fantastic; absorbing all the lunges and keeping you in contact with the fish at all times. Great piece of work Bob which is much appreciated. Regards, Tony


Marcus Petch July 2007

Just to say a big thanks for my new I power that I received from you. The rod is fantastic and the finish superb. First outing with it on the Dorset Stour and I christened it with a new pb of 11lb 12oz.

Many thanks Marcus Petch


David Bond June 2007 (twin i-powers )

"The rod arrived safely yesterday. Its exactly how I wanted it to be. Thanks for your all your help. Bob has done a great job, can you please pass on my thanks. I'm sure it will look even better with a bend in it!

Regards David Bond"


Peter Adcock June 2007 (twin i-powers )

"Just a quick note to say I managed to christen one of my i-powers today, with 2 barbel and 2 chub. Best went 8-15. Was very pleased with the way it handled that fish in a powerful flow.

  Cheers, Peter. "


Terry Buck January 2007

Douglas Allan January 2007

"Just to let you know I received the rod on friday and it looks really nice.
The rod has a nice action and I cant't wait to try it on a decent barbel.


Regards Doug Allan"


Steve Brown November 2006

"Rod has a lovely soft action, I used 1.75lb tip and it is a real pleasure to use and the 'graphics' are great. Please give my thanks and
appreciation to Bob for his build.
 
kind regards Steve Brown"

Trevor Garry October 2006

"Hi Claire ,
The rod has just arrived and it looks and feels great.Thanks for all your help "

Trevor Davies October 2006


"I had the rod out last night, and I'm really pleased with it. All intact. Looks really good and seems to have a great action too. Hopefully, I'll know by next week as I hope to get out fishing this weekend. I'll drop you another line and give you some proper feedback soon I hope. Many thanks to you and Bob.

 
Regards, Trevor."

Bob Brookes August 2006 (second i-power)

"Just to say that I am totally pleased with the rod and that it identical to the other apart from the agreed changes. I took it out for a
session today and the fact that I blanked didn’t detract from the fact that they looked bloody fantastic!
"


Chris Beere June 2006

"Had an awesome night on the Thames with my brother last night.
Had 8 Barbel between us with 6 of them being around the 6-7lb mark,
1 of about 4lb and a 9lb 8oz personal best for me.
The biggie put up an incredible fight, holding bottom stubbornly and then
tearing off on insane runs. 2lb tip on the i-Power was absolutely sensational
during the scrap with enough grunt to stop her from getting too far away but
the suppleness to cushion some extremely powerful lunges. Once again, many thanks for a wicked piece of kit :)"

Harry Lauder July 2006

Just to let you know the rod arrived safe and sound. The build quality is first class and the handle configuration is exactly what I need.


Les Darlington June 2006

Just a quick note to say that I at last managed to get out on the river this Saturday and christened my i-power with a Teme Tiger weighing 6lb exactly. Bob the rod is an absolute pleasure to use - thanks again.


Adrian Reynolds May 2006

"...rod arrived today....the build looks first rate and I look forward to using it this season"


James Osgood May 2006

"The rod has arrived and I'm blown away! I spent the customary half hour putting on both tips and bending the rod - great action especially with the heavier tip! after spending Saturday walking a stretch of the Wye too I'm now champing at the bit! Thanks Bob for a a great build, any rods I buy in the future will definitely be ordered through you guys!"


Bob Grevitt April 2006

"I have received my rod and may I say I am really pleased with it.  A piece of pure craftmanship which feels a pleasure to hold in my hand.  I can't wait to use it and hopefully catch many barbel (and chubb etc) especially large double figure fish. Once again thank you."


Paul Sephton April 2006

"Just to let you know my i-power has arrived, it looks amazing. Just need to put it to the test now. Only 2 months to go. I may well have another later in the season all being well."


Bob Potter April 2006

"Rod arrived at 10.05 this morning and I  love it already! Can`t wait for the new season to try it out. Many thanks to you both for the excellent service you have provided"


Chris Pocock February 2006

"Just to say thanks to you and Bob for the amazing job you did on my rods last week. Not only did you drop everything to work on them, you had them to me bang on a very tight schedule, and they are simply gorgeous. Bob is a talented man indeed. You were a pleasure to deal with, and the rods a pleasure to fish with."


Chris Beere February 2006

"i-Power arrived safely this morning. 

Absolutely chuffed to bits with it, looks gorgeous, cant wait to get it out on the river !  Please pass on my thanks to Bob, the standard of engineering is the best I have seen on a coarse rod and the personalisation makes it that bit special :)  And finally thanks to you for the excellent customer service. I will most definitely be shopping with BFW again..."
