Hi All,

Recently I got 2 old  7' (or so)  game Snyder Glas rods for my man cave as a part of reels purchase:
- 'Mossops Troll 24kg'
- 'Jig Stick D.L.X.'

I can not find much  information about them in Internet, so would be grateful if you could shed some light ?

Thanks,
savit

Good old Fibreglass Game and Jig rods probably from the 80's. Made on Snyder Glas blanks. "Trevron" (on LL's) may be able to shed some light as he worked in Mossops Tackle during that period.

Thank you Fysshe.

80s? The seller said he bought them only about 15 years ago. What a ... LOL .
The reels (old Penns) have gold Mossops hammerhead stickers.

Nice, plenty of SE QLD tackle shops were still holding stock of Snyderglas rods 15 years ago, not sure about down south.Most commonly surf and estuary rods though.
Good score mate

Not saying they weren't around 15 years ago, just as I recall those game and Jig rods being most popular from the late 70's to early 90's until the Graphite rods dominated the market... Wink I had one rated at 15 lbs and you could lever stumps out with it... LOL Matched up to an ABU 12 and I got some nice fish on it.

Thank you guys.
It looks like Trevron last time visited LL more than month ago. May be I will try calling Mossops bait & tackle store later if that is the same one.
