My Grand Daughter Gave me a couple of old Aluminum telescoping fishing rods for Christmas. The label reads; Gifford Brothers Distr, .800 North 3rd. St. ,Logansport, Ind. , "Quick Pick Pole"
I ran it thru Google and came up without a hit. Does anybody here have any information about these? Re: Aluminum Telescoping Pole

Drew,
Are you sure that ait is an aluminum pole, or is it a steel pole. In the 40s and 50s there were a lot of steel telescoping rods made. Re: Aluminum Telescoping Pole

Tell tale on the steel rod is that a lot of them actually had the guides "welded" right to the rod. Re: Aluminum Telescoping Pole

There are no guides. Just a tip top on the end. Tried a magnet. It doesn't stick. Re: Aluminum Telescoping Pole

Highly doubt it is related....but you never know (maybe those "poles" are outriggers?)
Once upon a time....like 60-70-80+? years ago....Gifford was a name in the Miami fishing scene. Lots of real big fish were caught. Might have been involved with "the" name in high end boats. Could be a lead to track down. Hard to see if that is a freshwater "pole" though. Russ in Hollywood, FL. Re: Aluminum Telescoping Pole

Thanks for the information. You may be right Russ. I'll beat it around the internet for a while and see what pops up. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
