Just a ramble down memory lane, but looking at today’s tackle adverts, I started to wonder on the whereabouts of some of older names. When did the image consultants deem that nice Mr. Shakespeare drop his first name of Norris, and that Mr. Sealey had to stop using his given name of Edgar. How many combinations have there been of the ABU/Garcia/Leeda/Mitchell names? When did Hardy Bros. split up – was it something to do with the pop group, if so which one got to keep the House they are now in? Tackle makers such as Rodrill, JB Walker, Anon-Shaw, KP Morritts (Intrepid), Gladding, Terminal tackle such as Kroic and Au Lion D’or hooks, Pescalon and Black Seal line, Newark Needle floats etc.etc.
Where are all the acronyms these days: –
M.A.R C.O - Modern Arms Rod Company
EFGEECO - E F Goodard and Co.
APOLLO – Accles & Pollack.
MILBRO – Millward Bros.
P.D.Q – Pegley-Davis Quality (or some such, can’t quite recall)
I am sure our members will be able to tell us where they have gone, and no doubt add some more to the list.
