I'll check my Milwards catalogues, but it does ring a bell.....never, ever seen one though......
That will surely be an awesome roach rod.
Yes, it's in both the 1956 and 1962 catalogues so it was made for some time. In '56 it cost £6 5/-. which is the same cost as the 3 pice 10'6" Featherlite..Lord knows they're both rare rods.
Both catalogues say of the 11 footer; " This rod is a combination of Spanish Reed and female Tonkin and has a spliced top."
Interestingly the tonkin butt and jointed Matchmaster at 10' 6" is cheaper at £6 2s 6d.
Both Featherlite and Matchmaster ..." are designed FOR CONTEST FISHING IN THE U.K. AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY FORM OF HEAVY FISHING"
I think they're telling you to go easy with it
