Adverts from Angling Times Yearbook 1978 -79

[Tonytoned]

Hello there

Here are some more adverts from this Angling Times yearbook 1978 -79 which I picked up yesterday from Lyme Regis. There's a few in here I recognise.
Can anyone enlighten me, in the Normark advert would this have been classed as a composite rod?

Thank you for your time












Notice the Heron bite indicators

Graphite was a composite of glass and carbon and was definitely a vast improvement over glass fly rods.

Some memory jerking adverts there, makes me feel old.

Thank you Dave. I see they still make Lamiglas Rods in America.

My first fly rod was a Lamiglas gifted by a mate.
