antique fishing reels
Help identifying a bamboo fishing/fly rod!?
I found this really cool bamboo fishing rod at an antiques shop today. It’s insignia on the rod was a globe and below it it said “Globe”. It’s an old rod, most likely 80’s or 90’s, pretty good condition. the weird thing was, the reel seat was ABOVE the cork handle, which i have never seen in a fly rod. im pretty sure its a fly rod though, its really long, 4 pieces, and get REALLY thin at the top; plus, it dont know why anyone would make a bamboo spinning rod? anyways, if anyone has an info, and what it is worth i would appreciate it. BTW, it was like 40 some dollars in the shop.
Yeah its in a woodbox with an unopened pack of hooks and a bobber or two. its in pretty good condition. what do you think the retail value is in good condition?
most likely from the 50s or 60s. l am guessing the handle is reversible. many rods were built to use with multiple styles of fishing. particularly imported ones. l’m also guessing this is a relatively inexpensive import from china or japan. the US market was flooded with lots of cheap asian imports after WW2.
it wasn’t just them. many american manufacturers of steel and copper rods back in the day made them supposedly to be used as fly rods and casting rods. especially the telescopic ones.
but if it is in real good condition, that’s a fair price. did you get the wooden box with it?

This is exactly alot of guidance in order to make a choice what precisely to use in specific circumstances,the fishing rods i prefer are most likely much less high-quality such as the products mentioned in this article regarding they’re far better built nevertheless the fishing reels happen to be better since these are right from the actual 70s when manufacturers crafted these products that will keep going. Surely these types of fishing rods happen to be more responsive yet I am certainly not very guaranteed with regards to the actual stability part,I will look in this article for additional data down the road. kudos
Sportfishing is my best loved hobby,maybe there is an abundance of spots for you to catch many bass around the region too think about using this kind of method, the people I know in this vicinity haven?t brought up this method detail and so i am searching for a way to snatch alot more. The variety of fish in a lot of these estuaries and rivers all around here seem to nibble even a bare fishing hook at times however its certainly not the fish i am attempting to catch. Thank you for the info and are going to be eager for future post…
