Fishing Rod HELP???

[Jessi-9]

Hi there

Does anyone know anything about fishing rods?

I have 3 that were given to me years ago and I dont fish or have any intention too.

Just after a bit of info, I cant find anything online and was wondering if some were vintage?

This is all I can gather from the rods themselves....

1) Actio 3 piece 12 ft Course Rod with Cork handle

2) Abu Garcia 2 Piece Bronco Specimen 11ft.

3) D.A.M 3 piece Minos Match 10ft Rod

Was hoping someone could help?

What types of fishing are each rod suitable for??

Thank you

Any fishermen out there....?

I'm sure you dont have anything desirable by a collector in that lot ...

The Actio I've never heard of ... a course fishing rod
Abu are cheap and cheerful ... a specimen rod
and the D.A.M is just cheap ... a match fishing rod

If on the other hand you had a very old Abu reel ... they are quite collectable but they still not a ming vase..!

Thanks for your answer.

I know their not worth anything, I just wanted to know their rough age??? I'v looked high & low and cannot find anything on any of them.

My brother is adament the ACTIO one is vintage (it is VERY goodlooking if I say myself & in MINT condition)

I just wanted a little info on them but cant find any....thanks anyway.

I would imagine the course rod would be a good float fishing rod for either river or still water.
The specimen rod would more than likely be for carp fishing and a 10ft match rod quite likely for feeder fishing or straight ledgering (bottom fishing). I hope this helps somewhat?
