Just browsing through a well known mail order tackle dealer’s catalogue from 1993, reminded me of the astronomical cost of the ‘top of the range’ poles those days.
Even ‘budget end’ were typically £250 to £400 16 years ago.
In ‘real terms’ what would ‘equivalent’ cost of these poles have been today?

As well as what would the equivalent cost be today, do any of the above models bring back any memories to any forumites?
