All our yesterdays..........I'm feeling charitable

then the early mavers were called "litanium"(i think)

Maver Lithium it was called; a grey/silver colour.

The Thema came a touch later but not much. It had green decor on the butt section.

I used one for years.

'Spiralite' does ring a bell in the old grey cells!

Correction, when I said I had one it was a Maver Lithium; it lasted quite a few years and was quite a bit slimmer than today's models.

i'm going to phone trev i wonder if he can remember it was the best pole i'd seen at the time we were using a very light pole but the sections were matt green and quiet wide diameter MCV i think that was a garbolino pole it wasn't carbon i'm sure but when trev showed us that pole

i used it on a Easter festival on the river bann now thats was back in the days of grizzly Adams ,mick downes i think steve warner came with us boy was the fishing good then

i'm sure the section was called the playing fields the pegs were less than 15 yards apart and i'm sure you needed 100lb to win a ten peg section

i'd just passed my driving test and took the ford commer tansit the one with the one continual front seat with six lads in it and kit

what good times we had so that tells you how old the pole was 28 years ago
