bronson fishing equipment

Question
I have recently come into ownership of some bronson fishing poles and reels. The most interesting of these to me is a bronson 63 reel which is built into a bronson proffesional true temper pole. I was wondering if you could tell me what the value of this is? I have no interest in getting rid these but i cant find any information on the internet about the bronson company. Please help. Thank you for you time.

Answer
Geoff,

The Bronson reel company was formed by a former Shakespeare employee in the early 20s. They remained in operation into the 1970s. They made low to mid level quality/cost fishing tackle, which is reflected in their current collector value.

You didn't mention condition, so your rod and reel combination would sell for between $5-40.
