Fishing - Vintage Fishing Rods...

Expert: Joe Douglas - 10/23/2009

Question
I recently came across 2 vintage fishing rods. The only information on the rods is a sticker that says "NFG" National, Rods of distinction. Model 702. I've been trying to find information online about the rods with no luck. Do you know anything about these? Or perhaps could direct me to someone that might? Just interested in the history. Thanks

Answer
Hi J,

In a word...no. This is the only second time I've seen the Rods of Distinction, NFG, name. I have not yet learned anything useful about them. If you can, send me some pictures of the rods at joe@blackdogtackle.com and I'll see if that helps.

Thanks, Joe
