Here's a nice rod and reel I picked up at the pigeon forge show. Anybody care to guess the year for rod and/or the Senator?

really nice combo! I'll say early 50's...Just a guess.

Nice setup and I like the roller guides
Rod is post 1948 (Biscayne Rod Company's first production rods), reel appears pre 1950ish (if it is nonnumbered, and 3-piece spool?). Numbered/3-piece spool would be ca. 1950-55. Otherwise post 1955.
Cool combo. Sounds like a great show. Cool you could make it. Did you see any early Big Game lures? I know they had alot of cool early freshwater baits.

John, fortunately for me I have never been bitten by the lure collector bug. I would need a 12 step program if that ever happened. I'm sure there were old salt water big game lures amongst the many thousands that were there. I just don't look at that stuff. Sorry.
I believe the guides are Allison. Nice rig.
