What was the old Nash mono line called.
It was before bullet, and it was silver grey in colour. I think it came in an black and green box, but may be wrong???
A mate used to use it and it was tough as wire but cast for miles, and super supple.
The name Power+ seems to ring a bell...

North Western Rods.
I had a pair of 2½lb TC's back in the 1980's, far ahead of other rods of the time.
And over the Shimano Baitrunners, the 4000 or 4500 Aero Gte's before the 80/60/5010's.

Brings back great memories of using the 'big' 3 tackle shops in Norwich, John Wilsons, Tommy Boulton and Dave Plummer. Great shops, great people.

North Westerns, I use a pair of the “Carbon Carp” 12ft 2¾ tc. most of the time for my Carp fishing, with a Tri-Cast 12ft 2½ tc Legend as my 3rd Rod if I use three (Which just got handle section re-built at the weekend)

The North Westerns I bought old stock “new” a couple of years ago, still had the string tied Labels on them “Barlows £99.95” (Which I've kept) That shows just how old they are! Must have been some of the very first Carbon Rods made.

I actually bought a pair of the “Rolls Royce of Reels” to go on them last week, a pair of Abu Suveran 4000's, but I've changed my mind and fitted them on my JW Avon deluxe Barbel Rods instead.

Still got a Multi-mat, and still use it occasionally for smaller species. I think the "mat police" would have a field day these days over it being too thin.
Still use a couple of 5010 GT's for chub and tench etc on a pair of Avon's.

Yes mate, power + was a great line, I used this until it was no longer available, then fox soft steel (not the camo) now esp syncro xt.

Anyone remember the original fox ,pegleg swingers in white.anyway those peg legs were not with out problems on the strike..
So fox brought out an upgrade ,which was the adjustable plastic white balls with compression washer. I had a set of these, the were lighter and nicer to use than the later versions ..

(Fox pegleg swingers,, plus KJB,three rod pod ,deadly combo ,resulting in carnage)

And ,I loved my Northwestern Sealey..,not long ago found a supplier of NW carbon blanks,new ,old stock ,swingtip rods..

I can't remember the peglegs, but have a set with white heads and ball clips. As with all my ball clip indicators I replaced the O rings with small pieces of old catapult elastic, much longer lasting.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
