Info on Priory rod please
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:16 am
Hello all
I have recently been given a job lot of fishing tackle by a friend of the family who was clearing her garage after husband left her.
Most of it is just cheap modern stuff, a couple of poles , assorted floats etc. but there are 3 old cane rods.
I would appreciate any help in identifying what they are for 2 reasons
1) I want to use these rods , but need to know what kind of fishing they are suited to.
2) If they are worth anything I would like to offer the lady a fair price for them
The first is a Bournemouth Priory rod , 10ft 10” overall length, 3 split cane sections , Test curve approx 1lb. It has 6 rings, a 19” cork handle which has a threaded hole in the end of the aluminium butt cap . The width of the tip is 1/8”.The width of the butt section just above the handle is 1/2” . It does not have any set or splits in the cane and the varnish is in good condition but the rings are a bit rusty so need replacing, also one of the male ferrules is slightly loose.
Any help or info will be greatly appreciated
