Spinning reels

[FLATHEAD]

I remember my grandfather had a rod made of steel. I don’t know what ever happened to it but if I remember correctly it was an octagon shape.
Have you ever seen one of those? If so I’m just curious what vintage it may have been.

While scrounging around for old motorcycle parts in an old barn I found one of those rods. Had a reel on it as well. Think it was called a king. Was pretty neat but did have surface rust. Gave it to a guy I worked with.

True temper was a popular brand rod at the time
King later became ocean city reels
