Who was instrumental in the increase of Carp rod length from ten foot to eleven foot?
I recall that during the early sixties most of the Carp and Pike anglers I fished alongside , including a few famous names utilised ten foot rods. Then it seemed to change, and rods in the eleven foot range began to appear from various makers. Till by the late sixties eleven foot rods became the norm.
This was a point of issue that was raised over the weekend between myself and a couple of old time Carp anglers.
Opinions would be appreciated.
