A friend of mine recently passed away and his widow sold me all his business inventory and repair manuals. He had been in the fishing rod, reel and tackle business since 1965!! = [6] full large auto loads of inventory !!!
I do have 6-8 Coleman lanterns [one in its own plastic case] some repair parts and boxed mantles, and older glass globes [2] boxes nearly full, and a Coleman repair manual. I am currently asking $125.00 for all of this as I don't know much about repairing Coleman stuff.
I have many older fiber glas rods, a few metal ones, graphite-comp, and graphite rods in need of repairs / minor to major..And some newer rods that are ready for sale too.
Reels, ... I have mainly Pre 1980 Daiwa, Zebco, Shakespeare Southbend // spin cast and spinning // and some other popular brands. Also old bait caster reels of many names and types.
Some reels have been cleaned and lubed and are boxed, and just need assembly to work again. Many reels are in need of checking, parts, and TLC.
I have many reel parts!!!! // mostly new and some good used salvaged ones mixed in as well. I haven't had time to ID them all yet. Spin cast, Spinning, Fly reel, modern and old bait casters too. Some old bait casters I have original factory repair kits full of new parts and I think at least one kit of fly reel repair parts new too.
Hooks = mainly treble hooks of several sizes, // many in multiple count packages /// as this guy replaced hooks on many plugs and crankbaits.
There are some single shank hooks mixed in as well, but I haven't gotten to them all yet.
Rod tips and guides. !!! I have hundreds, ... if not several thousand of these. Many new older metal and current ceramic tips and guides of all sizes shapes and colors. And there are many good older ones salvaged from rods like the old Carboloy and agagate ones from early 1940-70's rods.
If I couple this purchase with my already current large own inventory of current rods, reels and parts, rod tips, guides and tackle, I just have TOO MUCH to handle.
And I still have all my current flea market booth rod inventory and [2] full glass display cases of reels and a walled pegboard of tackle for sale on top of all this!!!!
I am currently paying $135.00 a month to store much of this extra stuff [and mine] in a 10 X 30 rental unit. And I will be moving to a new Apt. complex in 3 months.
Many of these rods, reels, hooks, and parts will become Winter sorting projects for me unless someone would be interested in buying a majority of it. [I want to keep some]
One would need to actually see ALL this stuff to truly appreciate what is there, and what they would be interested in buying.
I can be contacted by email at sscasteel@msn.com [preferred] or my home phone # [816] 326-7891 = no calls between 10 PM and 7 AM CST = please.
