Title: March Brown Travel Rods
Post by: Jim Eddie on 22/01/2008 at 18:06

Its nice to able to report good service for a change. I have had a 9ft 5# March Brown Travel rod for a couple of years now.
I got it reasonably priced from a guy in Portugal on E-bay , Its a great rod for having in the boot of the car just in case .
When I was up in Easter Ross in October I broke the tip off , all my fault rod totally not to blame.
I sent an e-mail to the company in Rhode Island asking for the cost of a new tip section , as per their guarantee, no quiblle they asked me for my address and they would post one off F.O.C.
That one went missing in action , so I e-mailed to say it never arrived, again no problem asked for my address again and lo and behold a complete new rod arrived this morning :)   

I have absolutely no connection with March Brown apart from liking their rods :)

There's a guy called Chris that I dealt with via marchbrown.co.uk, very quick and prompt communication, all good. great kit too.
