I remember when Sears was about the only place to get hunting and fishing supplies. The old Ted Williams stuff. Lol

Gosh, you must be old. lol. I used to wear out their catalog looking at that stuff when I was a kid. I didn't even care about the toys.

I've had several of those old Ted Williams boat motors over the years. I still see one every once in a while.

ScottV does Tanks in Philadelphia have those rods u are talking about.

If you can find some old tackle and equipment from Sears.
They carried a lot of different brand products until the Sears brand was started. The Sears brand was replaced with J C Higgins until about '62/'63/'64 when it went to Ted Williams brand.
You could get the big catalog or specialty catalogs like Farm n Ranch, Hunting n Fishing that had more products in them.

Yea, that's where I got mine. I've been using the 12' FireCast poles at Okatibbee for several years. Never have broken one. I just got 2 more of the 14' poles last week to use when fishing shallower than I do at Okatibbee. They are cheaper than the replacement tips of the PSTs I keep breaking.

I hunted many a rabbit with a J.C Higgins bolt action 410 single shot. Wish I still had it. Seems like a box of shells were around $2.85 back then.Could have been a little higher.
