Pecos Bill 45 fishing pole
Question
Hi Mr Gaither.
Ive been trying to find some information on an old fishing pole I came across and I havent had Any luck. Near the handle on the rod itself it says Pecos Bill 45.
The rod is slightly translucent/milky colored. Im guessing its a clear fiberglass reisen. I would be greatful if you could give any suggestions on where to continue searching for more info.
Thanks alot.
Answer
Craig, I am not an expert on old fishing tackle and I do not know if I can help you or not but here is some ideas.
First I would try to write the information on the rod to the "What's it worth" page in
Bassmaster magazine. The address to send your info to is on the page. The writer of this
page is an expert. If that doesn't help try to find if there is or has been some company,
likely in Texas, by the name. If you do not find it then try E-bay looking for "antique
fishing tackle and look through it to see if that name or the rod appears. Try a google
search for "Texas Pete fishing rods" and see if that helps. I do not know of any other
places to look. Sorry.
