How much the MKIV Carp rod sold for back in the fifties? & how much that was in real money?
Obviously there were a few versions, so in particular I was wondering what you would have paid for a 1956/57 model.

The Telegraph says that the average salary in 2011 was £26,871.00, so at 1.37% the rod would have cost £368.13 two years ago.
