The 1.75lb test Glass fibre blanks produced by North Western were AC 7's 11ft 3".... Sort of a copy of the very popular T24.


The SS Glass fibre range were 2.25lb upwards. The stepped up version were SS4A...SS5A.. SS6A 10 ft and 11ft. 2.25lb up to 3.25lb.
In todays terms they would probably be classed as half decent floater rods
