2 USS DOWNES BOAT~PIER RODS + 1 ST CROIX HEAVY BOAT ROD

UPDATED AUCTION

I HAVE ADDED ONE ST CROIX HEAVY DUTY TROLLING ROD TO THIS AUCTION. THIS ROD CAME TO ME THIS WEEK FROM A LOCAL STORAGE AUCTION. THIS MODEL IS HARD TO FIND, AND OLDER ST CROIX HEAVY BOAT POLE, SUITABLE FOR TUNA OR ANY BIG GAME FISH.

YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE THE 2 BOAT-PIER RODS. THESE LOOK HANDMADE TO ME. THESE HIGH QUALITY RODS ARE COMMEMORATIVE AND UNIQUE TO THE USS DOWNES, ONE OF THE FIRST BOATS HIT AT PEARL HARBOR ON THAT INFAMOUS DAY IN 1941.

NO OTHER INFORMATION IS ON THE USS DOWNES RODS BUT THE MODEL NUMBER AND THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF THE RODS THEMSELVES. A LIMITED EDITION, ONE IS SN 3, AND THE OTHER SN12 ...

 THESE BOTH LOOK TO BE ABOUT 20-40 LB RODS, SO YOU COULD CATCH A PRETTY GOOD SIZE TUNA WITH EITHER ONE. BOTH ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (NEWISH) FOR THEIR AGE, BUT ONE WILL NEED A GUIDE REPLACED OR SOLDERED ON.

I HAVE SEEN CUSTOM RODS LIKE THESE GO FOR $150 A POP. THE ST CROIX ROD IS IRREPLACEABLE AT ANY PRICE. 

BUY IT NOW, OR MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER.
