Fly fishing Pole questions?

i can not find any information on this rod that was left behind when my great grand father died, It is a very old 8-9 foot bamboo fly fishing rod in good condition. The logo label on it has worn a bit but i think i was able to make out what it said for the most part.. Looks as it said Angel Fish Brand than under it had a picture of a angelfish and under that said Tokyo japan, well every search tactic i have tried on the web has lead me no where and i cannot find any information on it at all as the year the kind of bamboo or how much it cost or worth anything today.. Is there any place that you can search vintage fishing poles?

the best bamboo comes from china.
after WWII the japanese sold us an awful lot of very cheap stuff. toys, radios, fishing tackle, lots more.
for some reason, most of the older goods do have a collectors market EXCEPT for their fishing tackle. the only japanese fishing collectables are old bone jigs used for saltwater fishing. most of the fly-fishing gear was really crappy junk. same with all the old spinning reels.
when shimano came on the scene, quality started improving.
now, japanese gear is among the best. but l still don't hear much about their fly tackle. l guess it's still junk.

IMHO

At one time a fishing rod was nothing more than a stick with a string dangling on the end with a piece of hooked shaped metal on the end of the string.

Boy, times have changed!

With modern day technology, fishing rods are a sophisticated piece of hunting equipment coming in sizes from two feet to twenty and are specialized for types of water as well as the kind of fish you are trying to catch. Line guides and a reel keep your fishing line neat and orderly so you do not tangle it up.

If you are looking for a casting rod, you want a longer stick as that gives you an advantage when tossing that lure into the brush.

Going after the big ones? You are surely looking for something that will handle the fight of a whopper and handle the shock when the fish strikes the bait.

Your choice of a grip is also something that is new to the fishing world as they are usually made of cork or a synthetic foam.

Spin casting rods are perfect where you spend your day casting and retrieving the bait or lure as there design is sleek and they are typically lightweight.

If you are fly fishing there are rods specifically made so you can put that lightweight fly right on the money.

For the larger fish and if you are going off shore, you want to grab a conventional spinning rod that is heavier as they are more suited to landing the larger fish and will handle the weight.

It does not matter what you like to reel in or how you like to spend your day on the water, just make sure that you spend the time picking out the right equipment from your local bait and tackle shop and if you are a rookie or just a casual angler, do not feel funny about buying a prepackaged kit for your adventures.

The most important thing is to make sure that you have fun out there and bring back some keepers.

When you make that fishing rod purchase, take the advice available at http://uglystikfishingrods.com and buy the correct one for your type of fishing. We feel the best rod out there is the Ugly Stik Fishing Rod based upon the way they are manufactured and the benefits they offer when fishing.
