Following our annual stocktake (and a week spent rediscovering some truly exceptional pieces), one thing became clear — anglers don’t just want great tackle… they want their tackle.
So, we’re pleased to introduce a new in-house service:
A bespoke finishing service designed to bring a new level of personalisation to rods, reels and accessories.
Not every piece needs to shout.
Our Tailoring service allows for discreet enhancements — carefully applied finishes that respect the original character of a rod or reel, while adding a touch of individuality.
- Refined handle detailing
- Elegant ferrule finishes
- Tasteful accents to complement original craftsmanship
A sympathetic approach, for those who prefer understatement.

Want Something a Little More Expressive?
Of course, not everyone is looking for subtle.
For those wanting to make a statement, our craftsmen can apply more extensive embellishment — transforming familiar pieces into something altogether more eye-catching.
- Full handle treatments
- Decorative reel finishes
- Custom “full dress” packages
The Perfect, Perfected??

Reels, Reimagined
Classic reels have always been admired for their engineering.
Now, they can be admired for something else entirely.
Whether enhancing a well-used favourite or commissioning a completely unique piece, Thomas Turner Tackle Tailoring™ offers a new way to look at traditional tackle.
Allcocks – All STAR!

At Thomas Turner, we’ve always believed that tackle tells a story.
With Thomas Turner Tackle Tailoring™, that story becomes a little more personal.
Whether you favour quiet refinement or something rather more… distinctive… this is an opportunity to create a piece that is entirely your own.
If you have a piece in mind, or would like to discuss the possibilities, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
We do, of course, recommend restraint.
