Hi All,
Derek Loonam from Loonam Bros Custom Rods.
I‘d Like to inform you that I no longer make Custom Rods or repair, So many balls in the air and moved away from Birr so it’s not possible to dedicate my time and serve people in a timely manner and currently no facilities.
I like to thank all my customers through the years and all the people who recommended me and indeed liked my work. It’s been great and I’ve make some great people along the way that I consider friends now, See you on the River or Lake….. Tight Lines
