Muskieman Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I've been with my wife for 17 yrs , from day one I noticed that my Father In Law had a rod stuffed behind his bar fridge. After a few years , I seen it , a vintage 1985 or so Berkley Lightning Rod brand new in the bag ... Anyway he gave it to me last night , gonna make a fine addition to my Man Cave decor . Never used never will be ... I'm a Lightning Rod fan , the first expensive rod I ever bought was a Lightning just like this one . I was 14 and paid over 100$. http://s1275.photobucket.com/albums/y444/Mallarduck/?action=view¤t=69B0F002-1937-4E4C-8B6C-A85D479A4449-4512-00000146B9353863_zps61b3e390.mp4" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y444/Mallarduck/69B0F002-1937-4E4C-8B6C-A85D479A4449-4512-00000146B9353863_zps61b3e390.mp4" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a> Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I think you should get some slime on it first,then hang it up. I had one,great rod. Wonder if anyone has ever snagged it up from the bottom of Erie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 The parents of Lightning Rod must have been pretty prolific, I have the triplet with the $59.97 tag still on it, bought it at a Kmart in Yorkville Sk. Last one on the shelf about 25 years ago. And no, not for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I still use my 6'6" as a daily fishing rod... purchased at LB's on Dundas... 1983! Have never found anything better... well until Spiel made a couple custom rods for the family.. but of course he put other peoples names on them so I'm not allowed to use them!

I remember it being cheaper at Zellers , I could'nt get a ride to North Bay to get so I bought it with Newspaper money at a local sports shop.
