I have a buddy that collects older fishing tackle as a full time job. He pays top dollar in cash and is a valuable source of information even the items are not in his area of interest.
I just gave him a three piece heddon rod for free because we are friends and he insisted on paying market value. He is a very easy going guy, no pressure type of buyer. If you want his number send me a email.
Good luck!
