MM Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 These are some of the poles ive been given that belonged to a late friend. As ive no knowledge whatsoever of pole fishing, i could do with some help pricing them. Not sure what they are worth, if anything at all, but ill never use them. They all appear to be unused. Shakespeare Mustang "put it" pole. 7m 7 sections. NEW Pro am pole. Leeda 2m pole. Shakespear Pro touch. Like i say, i dont know what they are worth, so any help would be appreciated. Ta.

oscarsdad Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 All fairly low end end - would suggest £5 to £10 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Really? Fishing rods are that cheap these days? Then again, i guess as times move, they become cheaper. Edited January 13, 2013 by MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I could use them for lightweight hide poles, great idea. Im sure a couple of hours in the garage can sort something. There is a load of other rods, carp stuff and whatever, but thats for the boy. I wont chop them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin lad Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 this may sound daft but if you have young kids and go on beach holidays what i have seen people do is take a whip 4/5 meter put a bright flag on it tie it to wind break then when they on busy beach say surf beach where tide goes long way out the kids can find their way back to where you have set up as if you have ever tried to find your towels and wind break on busy beach when returning from sea you will know what i mean, if any of that makes sense lol colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
