Hi everyone,
Something unbelievable happened while fishing today. I happened to be reeling in my line, when my line got really heavy. I could feel something dragging on the bottom of the pond. I realized that I hooked somebody else’s line. Being a good citizen, I brought in that line to try and dispose of it.
At the end of the line, there was a whole fishing pole. I caught it with my fishing pole.
Unbelievable.
I checked with all the fishermen at the pond, and no one was missing anything. This pole was on the bottom of the pond for a while.
Anyway, it’s a rod and reel, looks in pretty good condition. I’m trying to figure out how to restore it and get it fully functioning again. The pole is a South Bend “Take Me Fishing” Pole, 4‘6“, spinning rod. Model number C/TMF-462MLS.
I realize this is a kids pole, but I thought I’d be a good idea to have a project to work on.
The reel is still functional, and still works. I just trying to figure out what else is pole needs and what to check.
Any advice on restoring this pole will be much appreciated.
