Good day, All, As I stumbled on this thread during my researches, and being one of the weirdos mentioned by Baitrunner ( ;-) ), I thought I'd drop by with what I hope may be a little relevent information. I say 'weirdo,' as I now own 29 rods made by this company ... and now own the company name "Precision Rods Ltd." Bernard Sealey and Co. was a Redditch based company started just after WW2 by the gentleman himself, who was in fact Edgar Sealey's cousin. The company's registered trading name was 'Precision Rods' ... though later in the 1970's they made rods under the name "Bernard Sealey & Co," with a similar shield logo, (in fibre glass) until the company was sold in 1984. The name "R. Sealey" written on the rods does, indeed, refer to the person who designed the rods. Initially, this was Bernard's son Robert ... and latterly it was Robert's son, also Robert, who took over the role from his father. I'm grateful to Bernard Sealey's great grand daughter for the above information ... a real family outfit. I regularly angle with my Precision and Bernard Sealey rods. Details of the Precision and Bernard Sealey rod I have, which includes a 'Sensitip Major,' can be seen on a little website I maintain about my traditional tackle :- www.ashbycut.com I hope that helps brandenjg, Sir.
