Cameron Rods

[Jason R.]

I just inherited 3 Cameron baitcasters.  They seem really nice.  Anyone heard of them?  I believe they were made in Tulsa.  They are at least 16 years old.  They came with Shimano Chronarch 100s... which are pretty sweet.

I have.  They used the old Graphite USA blanks (nothing ultra-special but plenty good enough for bass/crappie fishing).  The old Cabela's fish eagle casting/spinning rods were built on the same blank. 

The very same blanks can be bought now through Mudhole tackle, it is their standard Mudhole blank. Basically an IM6 blank with criss-cross layering.  Any model over 6' is going to be bit tip heavy with today's lightweight reels.  Put some old round reels on them and pretend you're a pro from the 1980's.
