LASGTA88 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 well my wife and her daughter and I just moved into our new house and i was walking the dog and noticed that the house behind just had been "cleaned out" and all the "trash" was layin at the curb.. got to lookin through cause well im a redneck lol and found a fishing net and a cooler and some other stuff.. was like cool.. the next day when i had more light i was walkin the dog again and noticed a fishin pole stickin out of the pile .. thought its problably some old pos pole.. well to my surprise it was an old fly pole with reel.. pulled it out and got a better look.. now i know nothing bout fly poles or reels and am just gettin into them so anything that works is good for me lol its an "American 1029" pole and a #76 Ocean City reel with line on it.. may not be much but will get me some practice until i can afford better lol and two weeks before my fishing trip to Taney to top it off lol LA
Danoinark Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I don't know anything about the rod, but the Ocean City #76 is an old vintage reel that were popular back in the 60's. I think they were made in Philadelphia and were once sold by Sears under the JC Higgins brand. Grease and lube that thing up, fish it and think of all of the big trout and bass it has helped bring to hand. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
LASGTA88 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 yeah i did some lookin online and found some info on the reel and you are correct. cant find any info on the rod but im not expecting to fetch money for it but just curious on the time frame it was made ... just kinda cool in my opinion. i like vintage or antique stuff even more so when its still useable lol.. and i plan on fishin it till it doesnt work anymore lol.. first thing i thought of was man if this thing could talk.. would love to hear the story behind it but will never know so i will make my own..

soggyfeet Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Hey LAGTA88 that was my pile of so called garbage. I was planning on comeing back the next day to get that stuff it wouldnt fit in the truck. Was wondering were my stuff had went. JUST KIDDING Hey man enjoy it I know you will. The best pole I have pick ed up at a store in the returned goods section. Some had put the center two pecies together too tight and couldnt get them apart so they took it back to the store which means big discount for me $39 4 piece rod Brian
