One of our semi-retired pastimes is hitting auction and garage sales with intent to sell on eBay to fund our fishing habit...
In an auction in Idaho we picked up a lot of older rods and reels, 3 of which are particularly intresting. Photos below. If you are familiar or have info on any of them I would love to hear about them...
1 is an old Bristol metal rod that is extendable. No other info on it
2nd is a very cool short, stout rod. It has a wooden trolling like handle that is 27" and a rod section that is 38" with 3 ferrules. Very heavy. It has a label that is mostly gone, but I think it reads "National Fiber Glass" I want to go catch somthing on this one.
The 3rd is a very cool glass rod made by JC Higgins and sold by Sears. Also a very short rod.
I also included photos of three reels that were in the lot
Shakespeare driect drive model EH
Red River model v-7345
Olympic 720A
