I have some old fishing rods I wanted to sell. Is there a market for Truline and Sabre rods?

Answer 1

There is some market for these rods, with the Truline being the best of the two. If the Trulines are the honey colored blanks with the rough finish then you should have no problem moving them. They are still popular with the deck hands on the local sport boats in So. Cal. I sometimes deal in old rods and have sold several by posting an ad on bulletin boards at some of the landings. As far as pricing goes I won't try to guess, but you might try a local tackle store that deals in used equip. and see what they have and what they are willing to give you. They will usually offer about 10-25 cents on the dollar. Just a way for a starting point. I found an old D8 Truline blank that was like new at a yard sale, paid $5. I wrapped it in original colors, new guides, and cork tape. Posted it on Ebay $225.00 Buy it now price. Sold within 15 min. to a deck hand in Long Beach, who wanted more. You never know.

The Sabres are a different story. With all the Seekers and Calstars around I haven't done well with them except for the Sabre Lites. They are different enough to have some demand still. These are the pale yellow blanks, very light weight, I believe they are the E glass. There seem to be more demand for these than the rest. Good luck hope this helps. If you have any other questions, e-mail me and I will do what I can.

Answer 3

Check out ebay to find the model you have and what they're going for. Sabre's are a very good rod.

Answer 4

From everything I read, just quotes from fishermen, these rods indeed go for a premium. If possible I'd inquire at some local fishing shows, or visit online fishing forums and inquire about estimated value..
