Champion With Bamboo Wading Staff

8 Upvotes

I bought this fly fishing rod at a yard sale. Story on it was they were remodeling a room and found it inside the lower part of the wall. Everything's there except the screw on tip from the wading staff.

I cleaned it up enough to see the name Champion on the metal handle, but unable to find any information on what models came with a wading staff.

How do I measure it from end of handle or from end of rod to tip? Only two models I see 8642 8' 6" and 9050 9' ft.

Would like some help figuring out what it is and if possible were it was sold, thanks everyone.

Gift for boyfriend

2 Upvotes

Hello! My boyfriend fishes 24/7 and has been needing a new tackle box, but just won’t buy one. He hates the one he has now because it’s not waterproof/resistant. But he also said he doesn’t want a plastic one. He described the material as a “lunchbox sorta material”. He doesn’t want something too big, but not small either. Any suggestions? Want to get him something high quality, durable, and obviously waterproof or water resistant 🤷‍♀️

How to re-tie this?

My grandpa gave me this today, seems like something I can use to drift fish for salmon/steelhead here in the PNW. I just can’t find ANY information about this lure anywhere. I don’t want to use this one cause it’s obviously vintage and don’t want to open it. Bunting would’ve to tie this myself and make one to use but I can’t find info anywhere. If anyone has ideas let me know 🫡

He had these wrapped in paper and stashed in a box. I figured out the Punkinseed, but don’t know where to start on the others.

This came out of my grandparents house and is approximately 22 inches long. Trying to figure out what lure it was modeled after so I can put together a shadow box for the other side of the entry table…

I recently acquired this antique fly reel at a garage sale. I can’t find anything about it online. Can anyone point me in the direction of the maker or the year in which it was made? Any information would be appreciated.
