Auger catalogues
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 9:11 pm
I have a 1966 Auger catalogue which is in quarto format and is of quite poor production quality. I purchased it mainly for the information on floats as Auger retailed the range of Nevamis floats. It is good to recognise the differences between these, Harcorks & Allcocks, how sad!
There is a big section on Sea fishing tackle including an extensive range of the Alvey Side-caster reels. It looks like they may have been a major supplier of these Australian reels.
There is a 10 page section on components for rod making, a major business in the 60’s.
The rods for sale are in the main glass fibre or at least having a glass top joint. One exception is a 10ft Auger Carp Special 2-piece built cane rod. It is described as a Carp or Grilse rod & I wonder if anyone on here has got one?
