Rod and Reel Information

REELS
90% of all reels are common as dirt. If you have the original box and it's in near
perfect shape, you can expect between $20 to $50 for the most common reels. Condition is
everything!
The most common old reels are Bronson, Horrock-Ibbotson, Johnson, Kalamazoo, Langley,
Ocean City, Penn, Pennell, Pflueger, Shakespeare, South Bend, and Zebco. There are a few
more valuable models with Pflueger, Shakespeare, and South Bend, but not many.
The ones that generally demand more are Abu-Garcia, Bristol, Heddon, Horton, Meek,
Meisselbach, Von Hofe, and Winchester, but not always. These usually start at $50 and go
up to a few thousand.

I apologize for being so general, but I receive several emails about older rods and reels.
