is it not the mitchell match with the auto bail arm

I was over the moon with the first one of them i got, felt like i could catch bigger and better fish.

 

Used to have a pair of them ,twinned with the awesome power of my 10ft Normark Black Medallion 1 3/4 test curve rods,thought I was Rod Hutchinson Used to be a common sound in the 80s,the flapping of the bale arm on the 300s and 410s mid cast as the spring failed

 

I still have a 11foot black medallion a rod which holds a lot of memories for me, I must of had it nearly 30 years

If memory serves me right ,they came out 1985,I wanted the 11ft but it was a few quid more :laugh:you must have had a privelidged upbringing

I bought it brand new at a fishing auction for £10 about 1986-87 caught some very large pike on it and used it for light sea work, still original except the tip ring

I think mine was £25,but it was £28 for the 11fter used mine a lot for carp/pike on the canal,had plenty of big fish on them,got to say although they look like bargepoles(particularly the 11ft )they had a superb action on them,on the canal the maximum distance to set hooks/cast would be 15yds,so a soft actioned rod was the order of the day,I would struggle to find a similar tool nowadays,all compound/fast tapers,leading to more hook pulls at such close range
