The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Hi all,

Just purchased a 3 piece, 11 foot Avon style rod.
The decal is mainly missing, but it has been deciphered as a “weir product” rod.

I must say, I do like the original decal, after looking at other rods on eBay.
The rod needs a full refurb. Does anyone have a good picture of the decal, that I could have copies of to make a decal from?

Cheers

Steve

Sorry, not au fait with how to search for it. I’ve gone through posts about said rod. What sub was it under?

I cannot find it either, I've asked Catfish for a link

Looks like Ashby Cut may be your man.

Missing pictures but try viewtopic.php?t=13146

I have a Wier rod with a full very good logo, I will post a pic tomorrow morning.

Weir Products seems to have been a temporary trading name of R G Edwards who were also the owners of Black Seal Products, who were registered at the same address in Carshalton, Surrey.

They sold Black Seal plugs, rods and reels using two different logos...a black package wax seal and ...a black seal on an iceberg!

I don't know too much about them except for several addresses around Carshalton and nearby Wallington, eventually a final address in Brixton.


There used to be a blog post by John Andrews saying they started out as two brothers selling tackle out of the back of a van.

It might be still in here somewhere....

Nice rods, I have got two of their spinning rods both nine foot in length and one a lot heavier in test curve than the other. Both of them pull carp and large Eels out with ease. They have a lovely through action and the test curves would be something like 3lb Tc and perhaps 4lb plus Tc pease show us some pics when your done.
