I want to find out about it if possible..
All i know is that its a shakespeare diamond 1309 rod?
Length: 2.70 metres
Action B-60
That's all it sais......its a bronzy goldy colour with a large cork handle split up into segments.
If anyone has any clue about this please tell me!
Cheers guys  |
As it's split cane it may have a value Google for collectors of vintage fishing tackle
the rest is easy
2.7m long
Action B is a soft top rod and If I remember right slightly firmer in the mid section
( A was top soft only C was a through action rod)
the 60 after it is 60grammes the test curve of the soft bit
IF the cork is split into rings then it's getting past it as that's how cork handles are made then they are all glued together and sanded to look like one bit of cork
