Jim has built me some top rods but my fifth one I've been waiting for over a year, just a simple trout rod. I'm out $300. I communicate with him but be gives me stories of being sick which could be true. I'm gutted coz I really liked the guy, loved buying rods of him. If he can pull through on this I'd still buy another I mean his rods are simply that good IMO.
I've probably left it to long to call up bank on this I did use my CC.
