Silstar gxb 40,50,and 60..only they came out similar time ish to btrs,and were made to call their reels baitfeeders,not baitrunners,as shimano got a bit cross with them..

If I remember they had wooden handles, looked a nice reel,my old mate Tom had a set..

If you can get a set of Andy little roller buzzers,they are highly sought after,and very rare..

Yes, The Soundmasters :-)
Small indicator heads with a wired soundbox attached to it.

I knew a guy who had these, but he sold them because they were far to sensitive for fishing on the canal with flowing water.

Not at all, I had a set of cat rods by dam and they were bloody brilliant

I had a set of the 50s , excellent reels for the day

I had one of those, and some bitech's too

Mate of mine had a Dam Andy Little stalking rod, think it was a 2lb test curve. Boy did that handle some fish, often caught at very short range in some parrot cage swims.

Badger aluminium goalpost rod pod, one of the few decent items they made, I picked one up at a 5 Lakes show, it lasted for years, come to that with a decent bed bedchair as well.

I think the Pure Fishing group own Normark and Abu now, along with Rapala.

Didn't shimano also do one of those?

Interline rods,made by Daiwa..

Used to great effect by someone I know a tad well,...he had the 12ft 2.5tc...but,isn't there always a but ,they had a inherent problem with line initially not easy to re thread,or was it a pole threader leader issue ,can't remember, but 120 ,plus twenties later they worked...lol..

Not me..I hasten to say..

The DAM andy little 8ft stalking rod was really something special. You could lift a manhole cover with one of them.

Not the Andy Little Dam rods
Reckon you are thinking of the Daiwa Interline rods.
I was working in a tackle shop at the time, while back at college doing an HND as a mature student. Bit of a misnomer if there ever was one

Fox did a small interline stalking rod called the bonsai.
