Allen's Sport Rods...Some help please

[WCFLA]

Hey Everybody,

I have two Allen's Sport Rods that came with the 114h's that I recently picked up. Is there anyone out there that can give me some information on these rods? I haven't been able to Google up any good info. They are about 6'6" in length and have roller tip guides. I will post photos soon.

Regards,
Dan

I want to say it was a Long Beach shop a Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Lots of shops had Ross made for them mostly as charter rigs. That it's what you have. They are solid fibreglass, bullet proof and need a lot of work. I love wood butts but have seen one's with solid like that fall on fish big enough for a 114. You can get them into fighting shape, and it would be a lot of fun, but you wouldn't make any money inn the deal.

Noyb72,

  Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

Does anybody gave an idea as to how much these are worth?

Hang em on the wall. Ain't worth much, unless you re did the guides I wouldn't fish em personally. Like it was said, the wooden butts can fail

I'm going  have to disagree. Rewrap them, maybe a good idea to  add a couple of eyes.
They don't make blanks like those today.

That will work to, I'm scared of breaking stuff though......I'd love to have one re done to fish

Get 'em outa the yard before you mow the lawn! Seriously though, if you're in SoCal, I have a friend who might be interested in doing a re-wrap for you.

[WCFLA]

I think I got it. So I am gonna mow the lawn with them, rewrap them, mount them on the wall, then watch fishing videos on Youtube while imagining myself using them! Is that right?!?! Just Kidding!! I am going to talk to this guy on the coast who builds and refinishes rods and see what the damage will be. A million Thanks! to everyone for the commented.

OR....Spray some lube on the roller tips...strap those reels back on them,  spool 'em up and go fishing!

i would suggest you decide how much time and money you want to put in to them. Me? Strip them down to the blank and re-do them one of a number of ways.

Stock. Custom. Down and Dirty. Toss every thing except the blanks and rebuild some bullet proof glass rods. Stick 'em on Ebay.

my two ¢.

good luck with whatever you decide, Dan.

Heavy chrome or hardloy boat rods, they would beat the mess outa some fish
