First response would be why take your money out of a tax free environment into a taxable environment?

C&G FR bond = 5.2% net

NS&I Cash ISA = 6.3& tax free

Plus if its a bond you probably need notice in order to get the money in a hurry and they'll certainly punish you for taking it out before the end of the term/notice period.
