Description: This vintage telescopic fishing rod is a true treasure for collectors and fishing enthusiasts alike. Made by Horton Mfg. in the early 1900s, this steel rod features a unique design that makes it perfect for freshwater fishing. The shaft/blank material is sturdy and reliable, providing the perfect balance of weight and flexibility for a successful fishing experience. The rod's brand, Homaco/Horton/Bristol, is a testament to its quality and durability. Whether you are a seasoned angler or a beginner, this vintage fishing rod is sure to impress. With its timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship, it is a valuable addition to any collection. These steel rods of this vintage tend to rust horribly and this one is no exception. However, it is complete with all agate eye guides and complete and decent cork grip. While reel seat and butt section hardware are nickel plated, guides and tiptop are German Silver. About 9 ft in length, rods of this vintage were often switched between fly rod and baitcasting duties. Sometimes labeled as Bristol Rods, this example is a HOMACO model of Bristol Connecticut, home of Horton Mfg. successor to the Meek-Milam-Horton legacy.
