Answer
Wade
Ocean City was one of a number of middle quality fishing tackle manufacturers in the US. Best known for their surf and trolling reels.
Your reels value will depend on condition and if you have the box. These typically run $10 to $40, with the box a bit more.
Your rod is a Garcia Conolon rod. They have a purple/brown color to their fiberglass. Value would depend on condition, length, etc. Is there a tube or bag for the rod, etc. Without more details $20-50.
condition on both is key, if they have wear, value goes down quickly.
