Thanks guys. I never really imagined them to be anything special but then, I'm a crappy angler - only bothering to buy a licence ever 10 years or so, which is why I've never got to be any good at it - just enjoy being out there any trying. You haven't put me off, Chesters. I've got a couple of old cane rods that my dad took me out with many moons ago that I intend to do up, so when I saw these old rods in a battered old shed I scrounged them to do the same. I particullaly like the idea of going out with the shorter ones as I like to just walk along the river or canal with just a rod and a few bits in a shoulder bag, rather than take a lot of kit and be stuck in one place. Martin, your suggestion is just what I like to do,

I've noticed that the photos haven't appeared in the same order that I uploaded them. Hope you can make sense of it.

I've recently been given some old rods that I intend to 'do up a bit' for my own use and wondered if anyone can tell me anything about them please? e.g. what type of fishing they would be best suited for. The first one is a Pegley Davis Strike Ace, 7ft. 2-section rod. The second is also 7ft. single section (although as you can see the handle separates). The decal is unreadable (but hopefully someone will recognize it) though there is a number - 505-S The 3rd. is Frobisher's of Liverpool PALACE NO. 3. 10FT. 5INS. (minus the butt cap). The last one is just 5ft. 7ins. A single section rod with no markings, also with a removable handle. a nice light little rod. Hoping I manage to get the photos uploaded ok. Any information would be appreciated .
