Title: Sabre Rod Value
Post by: akroper on November 23, 2024, 08:16:36 AM
A couple of days ago, I acquired a handfull of rods at what I think was a pretty good deal.  Among them was a chocolate colored Sabre rod, 80 inches long with Aftco rollers and Varmac reel seat.  The photos are of the rod as found.  I haven't even wiped it down to remove the dust.

I know little about conventional gear, and have no use for the rod.  What I would like to do is get this in the hands of someone on this site who would appreciate it.  I'd like to make someone a sweet deal they'd be excited about.

Can someone give me a true value of this rod so I can sell it here at a substantial discount?  Thanks to all who can help.

As I'm sure ypu know it's an older 30 lb rated "glass" trolling rod. Not much demand for that style rod any more but some guys would still use. I bought a similar rod a few years ago for $ 100 US. Still works great for light big game trolling. My 2 cents
