The best place to find the correct information on this rod would be on http://www.hardyfishing.com/
At the right hand side of the screen click on the contact tab.

I would guess its an out of production model, probably 9ft and 6 weight.

I have just purchased a vintage bakalite centre pin reel which I intend to go fishing with, and I would love to hear from anyone who fishes with similar vintage tackle to ask them how their vintage tackle peforms in a real fishing situation.

Many of us here have used a vintage reel and some use them for reasons besides performance. Vintage reels are solid reels but the fact is that parts are hard to come by. Add to the fact the low gear ratio compared to the ones now, vintage reels just end up on a shelf collecting dust. There’s nothing wrong with using a vintage reel for everyday fishing, these reels are what made the reels we use today. If you can find the parts for these vintage reels, by all means fish on. If not, it’s best to keep it in working order. ~good luck catchin’.

I want to hear about fishing reels you either own or know about. Whoever tells me the most expensive reel gets 10 points

I would go with the Hardy Zane Ti Saltwater Fly Fishing Reel, which is made of super strong rustproof titanium and costs a whopping $9,700 (though a rod and line are included for free, so it's technically a package deal):

Second prize would go to the Shimano Stella 5000SW Spinning Reel, which would set you back by a cool $729.95, available at http://www.islanddiscounttackle.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=STL5000SW&Category_Code=Shimano_Stella_SW_Reels&Store_Code=IDT

This reel is 10 years and has never been cleaned. Fishing in salt water.

I'm not familiar with that particular reel, but I'd say call the manufacturer, if they still exist, they should be able to help you.

what brands closed or open reels ect

My personal favorite is the Abu Garcia Red Ambassador 6600CB filled with the original 50# braided Spiderwire. The reel can be found at Walmart for around $60 or Cabelas for about $90 (sometimes they have sales on these for $59.99).
It is a caster reel with bait clicker. The adjustments on the reel is superb where you can cast with little to no back lash (good for the beginners at using casting reels as well as avid users).
Catfishing is my #1 fish of choice and own 6 of these and over the years I found I like and enjoy this reel over all others for catin'. Durable and dependable for the big hogs.
Rod choice is like reels, it comes down to preference of choice of the user. Many good brands and models out there.
I use the Cabela's Whuppin Stick.
Good luck and happy fishing!

Hey all…

I'm looking for the name of a vintage fishing reel. I only have a vague memory of it from when I was a kid. It's shaped like a teardrop or a bulb, and has a square type of knob on the bottom of the "bulb." I'd like to try and find one for an upcoming birthday, but I can't ask my dad what kind it was, or it will ruin the surprise. Please feel free to write me back with your suggestions of what it might be.

Thanks for your help!
I've looked through a bunch of the reels on ebay, and I figured that I'd add a little more detail (or try to anyways). this reel is a closed face reel, and it does resemble the zebco slightly. but the zebco's that i have found have a center section that is circular, and the bottow is not like a "bulb" Additionally, from what I can remember, the top of it tapered up about 4" to a real small opening at the top. Hope this helps give a little more detail.

Maybe a mitchell match !!!
maybe a Shimano
maybe a shakespeare

hope this helps
thanks
phil

I'm doing a poll to see what the public's favorite fishing lure is. Is it a crankbait? A spinner? Please let me know. And please be specific to color and size and what not.

my favorites are as follows according to category:

bass- Mepps in-line minnow spinnerbait (blue), Gitzit rooster tail (chartreuse), Beetle spins (most natural colors), frogs (white or green), Zara Spook torpedo (bullfrog, perch), Moss Mouse (white), and the Jitterbug (chartreuse, black, black+white).

crappie+bream- Mepps in-line minnow spinnerbait (blue), Gitzit rooster tail (chartreuse), Beetle spins (most natural colors), Zara Spook torpedo (bullfrog, perch), and Gulp worms.

I like to fish,a lot.I’ve been fishing for many,many,many years now and I’ve done all sorts of fishing bass,bream,crappie,perch,carp,trout,cat fish,and many more speices of fish.I need the ultimate fishing lure that will pull in any fish and it will cacth any thing.I’m tired of waisting my money on so many difrent things,I just need the perfect lure.

This is a pretty interesting question as there are not to many people around anymore that actually do make their own lures, although the practice used to be pretty common as the commercial lure selection was not nearly as it is today. I know a few guys on Cape Cod that still do it and they always come out on top, because once you get the basic skills down on carving, and a little painting, you can match virtually any bait that runs native through your area. It’s obviously way to much to describe here, as it is more of a trade then a lesson, but it’s absolutely an obtainable skill that can be learned by anyone with extremely gratifying rewards. Here is a great book to get the basics, this book will put a dozen or so homemade, handcarved, native bait plugs in your box, and you will be truly proud of them.
PS. I still have wooden plugs that were handcarved by my great great grandfather, and not only are they high end antiques, they are, and always will be, part of my family.
