Went to Daughters house today to drop off some weed block for the son-in-law to use for his garden. He came up to me and told me he bought something for me. From behind his back he pulled out one of the oldest Ice rods I have ever seen. Here it is. Perfect shape even the cork is great. Measures about 18". It say's on the side of it. Kit Kast Patent Pending.

           Wow, I haven't seen one of those in a long time, my grandfather had one like that. What a great gift your son in law gave
           you.

Pretty cool.....

I have been looking them up and all I can find is more of them on Ebay for sale. Some with and some without reels. The shaft slides back and you can make it real short. It is 17" long fully extended.

Very neat. What a thoughtful gift. I love seeing old equipment from "back in the day" !!

I got my fathers hunting and fishing gear when he pasted a few years back and the best stuff was his fishing poles and lures - open water and ice fishing.   He had quite a few different rods and two were like the one you show.   They had old-time casting reels attached.   I don't think they had many spinning reels back then.  I think the rod shaft was adjustable for different species ice fishing - like long shaft - wimpy for pan fish and shorter shaft - stiff for walleye or pike.  Neat stuff for the archives
