Castle School Project

A collection of fishing rods

Something no to drop: the cane


already had occasion to present in the library Procoleccionismo old fishing reels Rafael Edo and on this occasion, we will take care of his collection of fishing rods.


Rafael tells us that, in fact, one is a consequence of the other, because this collection of canes began because of the reel. It turns out that when visiting shops to buy parts for film, found that in some of them were still old fishing rods and, as was decorating his garage to display the reels, it seemed a good idea to put some canes hanging on the wall to set the mood. In addition, having a few copies of vintage rods, could help better understand the evolution of the reels and context. Thus so innocent, began to pay attention to the reeds. Then noted that there were many colleagues who are also interested in bamboo and others so that, by doing something different, is dedicated to creating a cane is new to train. Specifically, now cares for all kinds of reeds produced in Spain since 1900, when he appeared to carbon. She loves the consolidated bamboo, bamboo, three pieces of cane in the country, conolón, fiber, etc.. prefer the new or nearly new. If it is possible that the canes are with their corresponding label and the price at the time much better.

The rod, basically as we now know it was already used in the fifteenth century, thanks to the famous "Treaty of fishing" Julianna Berners, dating back to 1496, we know the technique used to fish at that time. Until ad mit twentieth century were made of bamboo reeds, but in the 60's began using fiberglass, which also make it cheaper to get made them lighter. Subsequently, half of 70, moved to use carbon or graphite.

our collections like all the pieces in his collection, because it believes that each has its own charm and provides useful information. For example, on the photograph below shows some mounted with two reeds, Rafael explains that they are of the type known as Catalan and consisted of dos piezas. La primera de bambú y la segunda de fibra, con la peculiaridad de que la de bambú era muy corta y la de fibra mucho más larga. Esta pieza se la regaló el Sr. Manu el Llorens, antiguo dueño de la factoría de Carretes Segarra.

A pesar de que está muy contento con todas las piezas de su colección, no obstante Rafael siente una debilidad por las Carswell que, aunque tienen un nombre que parece inglés, se fabricaron en Murcia. De esta marca tiene bastantes, y en muy buen estado de conservación.
.
Tiene clasificadas todas las cañas por tamaños, ya sean grandes, medium or small and also, by brand, time and materials. English has many brands, since before Chinese imports were many small workshops where manufacturing. It was common in winter many shops prepare bamboo to sell in summer. When he left the fiberglass, and conolón pipeglas, there were a number of companies devoted to manufacturing and Carswell, Fishing Mur, Copesco, Palmira, Kali, Canesa, Pa rdo Verdú, Mitchell, etc.

Rafael tells us he does not know other collectors of fishing rods. Yes I have colleagues, reel collectors who also have a cane, but it is not common. Moreover the fishermen when they "retire" a stick no longer works for an exhibition, it would take to restore it so it would look a little better.
