crosswaters Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 This is very sad news R.I.P Terry. The mans a legend to the British rod making business and in my opinion the best in the world at what he did. I understand that Zziplex will continue to produce his quality products as His right hand man that has worked under Terry for a number of year will take over the technical side and hands on building of the products. This as I've been told was Terry's wish. Never to be forgotten Terry Carrol !!! Zziplex. !!! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack-ack Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 He used to deliver blanks to Romney tackle which was just round the corner from his unit and they would still be warm.
