fishinglibin Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 To you members out there who are obviously knowledgeable in this area, I saw a couple of interesting rods tonight. One was made by Major Rods and was Canadian. The other rod I thought was glass and what I could read on it was, Deluxe Fishin, Maybe also said Bar Hollow Glass, but was not clear. Any info on them? I may be interested in the latter, but wanted to see if I could get him some info on the Major for him. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Major Rod Co. operated out of Nova Scotia in the 40's and 50's. They built both Bamboo and later mostly Fiberglass. Like all vintage rods its condition plus if it has it original sock, tube etc. They built a variety of mid and lower end products from what I have seen. Some of thie ffiberglass rods had "O" rings for a tighter fit. Hope this helps. Pictures always help immensely in rod ID. Especially the close ups of the grip and any logos or writing on the rod. Hope this helps 1 Quote
DonAndersen Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Fishing.... I've got a Major rod. Bought it near 60 years ago. It was solid glass. The rod was equipped with spin guides, slip ring reel seat and a all cork handle. I paid a whole $10 for the rod and a spin reel. Took me nearly a year to make the money. Regards, Don 3 Quote
