i,ve been clearing out my dads old tackle and have come across this rod. the bag says it was made in newgate street newcastle upon tyne.the rod is in greet order so he must have looked after it, although i can not remember ever seeing it before. i would be greatful if anyone could tell me about the company and any idea about the age of the rod. i would also be greatful if anyone has any idea of its value. but please to say its now in the house and not his shed.
