I'm not sure if this was just a missprint or if there was an Allcocks Easicast rod as well as the reel.
I just found this by chance on ebay and it seems to point to proof of a rod made by Allcocks called the Easicast rod and it being 10ft in length.

What do others think?
Edit, I just looked on the list and saw it on there but it says 9ft on the list, so I would imagine it also came in 10ft.

It was still in the 1966 catalogue - substitute "Ambidex de luxe" - 7.5ozs - 162/- each + 27/- PTax
Light Caster - Hughes Parry - Nimrod - then - Patrician 9.5ft + Kenlee 10ft both casting 2oz then Lepson D/l in 8 or 9ft casting weight 3oz
Also found in 1966 - a sea rod the Allcock Wessex - 3joint built cane float rod in either 9ft or 10ft -- for pollack & mackerel.
How does the Avon compare with a Record Breaker or Lucky Strike?
