I have a Walker Palakona and its marked "Hardy Richard Walker Palakona 1.5. My understanding was the 1.5 t/c were marked "Avon"? Mine has neither "carp" or "Avon", just 1.5. There is a lot of information on "carp" and "Avon" marked palakonas but none on the ones simply marked 1.5.Were these a rarer rod, why didnt they put Avon or carp on the blanks? I picked this rod up from a gent along with a glass Walker carp. He had the Palakona from new and never used it. Its effectively a new rod. Absolutely stunning.

I can’t help with your question but it sounds superb. Is there any chance of seeing some photos?

Hi, from what I know, the RW Avon was 1lb TC while the RW Mk4 Carp was 1.5tc..........

What colour are the whippings - they differ on each model - ? - - And the weight of each rod?
