Hello everyone, great thread this one and some lovely looking floats. Just to say I am currently refurbishing a Grove Tackle hollow fibreglass 12' match rod. Trying to get the correct shade of tiger thread is a nightmare but it should look ok and as I have read elsewhere, not a valuable rod as such but pretty unusual. If I get a chance I will put up some pics, regards, Ed.
Not great but I look forward to using this old rod.

Now I can see it! The writing on that rod and Grove rods is identical. And so are Abbey rods........

Upon further investigation the rod was in fact an Aspindales Dalesman "The Croftdale" - a tubular aluminum rod with patent applied for and built by Aspindales. A good view on the sold items on the bay!
I was trying to point out that several rod manufacturers appeared to have tried this avenue of rod building with aluminum although none long lasting.
My Dad worked for British Aluminium and edited the company magazine. He was given an aluminium rod which I assume was an Aspindale. I have a vision " frozen " in my memory as I completed a cast with a ledger- both ferrules snapped and briefly all three parts were separate and airborn!. Keswalls helped me with two brass ferrules and some araldite. My Dad was a gentle man and I only got " the look" when he next took it from the bag!
