antique berkley rods
Question
my grandfather just gave me these two Berkley fishing rods. one is a Berkley tubular glass Buccaneer 6' 6" there is no sticker on the first one. I'm just looking for a price estimate and how old this rod really is. its in great condition. the second is a Berkley cherry wood with original reel. the sticker is on this one i can provide you with the info on the sticker. it looks very old maybe over 15 20 years old i would like to know how much its worth.this one also is in great condition. each rod on the bottom of the handle there's a heart with a B in the middle if that helps with anything the sticker on the cherry wood says :
c30 6'6"
spirit lake Ia.51360
BERKLEY cherrywood
lure wt. 3/16-1/2 oz.
What can you tell me about these rods?

It will be tough to determine age since they are still made today. They date back to the 1970s. I think both rods are good fishing rods, not highly collectable.
But, I would recommend this site on fiberglass rods
