My uncle passed away about three years ago and has had these 6'6 two Ugly Stiks up on his wall forever. I wanted to start fishing this year (got my license and a car) and figured instead of buying one, why not try and use those? My aunt doesn't fish, so they would have just sat there and either been given away or thrown out.
They're old. I believe the 80s, but could be wrong. The rings have some rust/patina on them (pictures below).
Are those too damaged to be used, or can I clean them up? I'm aware that they're probably not the nicest things around, they have foam handles, but I think it'd be cool if I could get them in working condition.
Thanks for any advice/tips!
Sorry, the second picture isn't of great quality.
