Clearing out part of the clear revealed a box of my grandfathers old fishing stuff.

1 x Milbro Spinwell rod
1x Milbro Gillie rod
1 x vintage handmade fishing rod (with reel)

2 x boxed TruSpin reels
1 x Mitchell 330 reel

Large number of flies and lures (sp)

Various other original bits and bobs.

Junk or does it hold some value?

Thank you!

get it on ebay with as much info as possible.

Youd be surprised what you can get.

Dad sold my grandad's old fixed spool reel (v old skool) for £700 to some Italian collector.

Wish I still had my old wooden centre-pin grandad gave me ages ago.
Proper freshwater work of art with brass fittings..
Went in a burglary many moons ago along with all my other fishing stuff out the garage ..

Worth whatever someone will pay for it - bang it on ebay as collectors equipment and you may be surprised.
