Au Sable brand bamboo rod?

#1

Post by Fred Lucas »

With a rod that is branded after a pair of popular rivers, hard to sus out the wheat from the chaff via google.

I've seen a few bamboo rods with this brand on them. I get the feeling they are NY made, and reference that Au Sable, not the Michigan river?

Any info anyone could share I would be grateful.

There was a Montague model that had the name Au Sable.

There are a lot of Shakespeare Au Sables out there. I believe the model # is 1363.
I also believe they were, or most of them were, made by South Bend, going by the reel seat.
