Antique rod.

[Yaker]

I purchased an antique steel fishing rod at a yard sale today,it's made by American Fork And Hoe,Geneva Ohio.The rod is supposibly a,medium action,the rod itself is square instead of round.
I paid a whopping $2.00 for it,eBay has them for the average $65.00,anybody ever had any dealings with this type of rod ?

I have found quite a few at garage sales over the years. Some round steel and some square in both long rods and short ice fishing rods. Mine are on the wall of my cottage. I found a square fiberglass last week, I don't recall ever seeing one of them before. It's headed for the wall, too.

Mine will be a wall hanger also,but only after I catch 1 fish with it.Im pretty interested about the design,square vs round,The bottom 1/3 is round tapered,and the rest of the rod is square and tapered,inquiring minds want to know !

Or, if you have them on your computer, it's pretty simple. You just click on the "picture frame" icon (third from the right) and follow the prompts. And if you have a problem or question about it, just PM me or one of the other SuperMods and we'll walk you through it.

I still have an old Heddon "Pal", round tubular steel baitcasting rod that I purchased back in the 50's. Have an origianl Pflueger "Silk cast" casting reel (AKA, "knucklebuster") that I bought with it. Like you said, wall hanger.
