Description
A collection of vintage fishing equipment including a two-section fishing rod and several reels in various styles. The rod is constructed from hollow composite material with a cream-coloured finish, featuring black whippings, a chrome-finished screw-lock reel seat, and off-white ribbed plastic grips. The assortment of reels includes a large black spinning reel marked on the side plate with a printed logo reading Daiwa Mark of Precision above the model DF-90 and Corps et Bobine Anodises. Also included is a silver-toned spinning reel with a rear drag system marked Shimano 4000RE on the spool, and a larger silver spinning reel bearing a blue adhesive label reading Atomic 603. The group is completed by two further rear-drag spinning reels and a conventional multiplier reel with a yellow handle knob. The reels are variously loaded with blue, green, and fluorescent yellow monofilament line.
Condition report:
The items are in used vintage condition with visible wear throughout. The fishing rod shows significant yellowing to the composite sections and heavy surface grime and staining to the ribbed plastic grips (photo 1). There is localized pitting and corrosion to the chrome-finished reel seat and metal guides (photo 2). The reel bodies exhibit surface dirt, localized scratches, and wear to the finishes, particularly on the Daiwa and Atomic models (photo 2). The functionality of the drag systems and internal mechanisms has not been tested.
