As someone who was born in the 80's but is becoming interested in fishing that predates myself.
Could anyone please try and paint a bit of a picture for me what pike fishing tackle was like in the 60's and 70's, what rods were people using, Brands, Length, Material etc. Also what reels? I'm assuming Abu Cardinal 55's and some model of Mitchell were popular?
Basically what did Pike fishing look like back then? And if one were to assemble a period Pike set up what would they be looking for?
This period was the heyday of my Grandad and uncle Bill fishing, sadly my Uncle Bill has long passed and my Grandad has dementia. So I can't ask them.
