Re: The Modern Arms Company Ltd - Marco rods
I think it's a pike rod, meant for dead baits or heavy spinning.

Re: The Modern Arms Company Ltd - Marco rods
Good afternoon folks . To add to the MARCO list I have in front of me a nice little 7 ft 6 inch 2 piece light spinning rod labelled the 'Capella' . The Capella legend is part of the trilby hatted laughing angler transfer , the elasticane transfer is further up the butt section . The rod has jewelled [red ] lined rings throughout , all whippings are burgundy and seem original , rod has a shaped cork handle with a fixed alloy winch fitting

I have both an eight and ten foot version of the Capella. The ten foot version is a de luxe and has agate lined rings.
The coiled line travels from the reel, it brings up at last, the hook goes home, and then begins the test of skill. "BB"

Re: The Modern Arms Company Ltd - Marco rods
I am in the process of restoring my dads old Marco rod. It looks like it is called Aron?
Its a three peace rod but the top section has gone missing. I have a few top sections in split cane but they dint really match.
Any ideas ?
I know there not the best of rods, but it was the first rod I remember my dad owning and it went with him from Cornwall to Cape wrath. Had some lovely fish on it. Must be around 50 years old.

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
