Edgar Sealey catalogue - early 70s?
Edgar Sealey catalogue - early 70s?
Anybody got a catalogue for the Edgar Sealey rod range from around 72-74? Or, know if there is anything viewable online
I'm looking to build around my collection of tackle from when I started coarse angling which was in that period and would like to remind myself of what was available then.
I still am using my Sealey Aquarius float rod from that era but seem to remember that the Blue Match is of a similar vintage etc.
TIA.
Brian

I have the catalogue from 1969 which lists the Blue Match, but not the Aquarius.
"Beside the water I discovered (or maybe rediscovered) the quiet. The sort of quiet that allows one to be woven into the tapestry of nature instead of merely standing next to it." Estaban.

Thanks for that.
I hadn't realised that the Blue Match pre-dated the Aquarius float.
I'm pretty sure I started in 1974 with the Aquarius so I wonder when it was introduced? I'm also fairly sure that the Blue Match was still current at the time as I also saw that one in the shop but it was a bit more expensive if my memory serves me correctly.

P.S.
Just visited your website. Very interesting and useful information.
My library is far smaller but I do have a copy of the first fishing book I ever bought which was 'The Ladybird Book Of Coarse Fishing'. Full of great pictures which I remember well from my childhood.

Thanks for the positive comment, Sir ... and I must look out for the Ladybird book you mention.

Was the Blue Match 2 an early 70,s rod ?
Re: Edgar Sealey catalogue - early 70s?
Thanks for posting the catalogue image of the Blue Match. At over £8 in 1969 it looks like I remember correctly that it was more expensive than the Aquarius.
As for the Blue Match 2 - I think Edgar Sealey became Gladding Sealey - as labelled on the rod in the mid 70s (around the time I bought my rod), but I'm sure somebody else can confirm more positively one way or the other.

If I remember rightly I bought my Milbro Silver Shadow in 1972 ans the Blue Match was current then. I'm pretty sure it was the Blue Match and not the Blue Match 2.

I purchased a Carbon Normark carp rod, and a few glass rods from the bootfair this morning for parts..a Aspindale Dalesman?, Billy lane swing tip and a pair of yellow coloured 'Sealey Carpmaster' rods that look unused. Has anyone details of the Sealey rods or an dated catalouge page please. Reedling.
