Does anyone have any info on rods made by G Little...?
I have a rod bearing his name on a brass butt cap inscribed with
"G Little (esq... I think, hard to make out)
Makers to HRH The Prince of Wales
15 (either Fretton or Stretton)lane,
London
The rod is a 4 piece whole cane and/or lancewood with ferrules that are more of a brass sleeve than the normal type ferrule...

Many thanks...

A bit more info...
the section sizes are as follows
Butt 36 1/8"
no2 35 7/8"
no3 35 3/4"
tip 27 1/2"

All I could find:-
Giles Little - 1839 - 1874 ] @ 15 Fetter Lane
Giles Little & co 1875 - 1885 ] London

"" "" "" 1886 - 1925 ] 63 Haymarket London.

Thank you Olly, so this rod is a rather old example.... Many thanks... my googling skills turned up nothing...

Turner's Fishing Tackle was the source.

This is the rod....

This is how it arrived with a bunch of other bits and bob's so I have no ideas as to how it should look, nor any ideas of which sort of rings it would have been fitted with...

Hi Chaps, I thank you both. My reel is & co .Trout brass plate- wind . I had researched it a little (terrible pun) but this is a better overall picture of the retailer not necessarly the maker.I have seen adverts and hook packets on that site but did not realise their age nearly 100 yrs old.

Harry i think you,le find that's Fetter Lane

Hi Lee... yes Olly said that in his post.. off Fleet St apparently...

So predates my grandfathers birth - born 1885!
