The first spot was in a residential area ( Large Garage Shop)
They had a store on 99th and Hazel Dell Avenue for a short time. I believe that was their second spot then the one on St John's

Yes they sold colgroves, another vancouver-based product?

That's where I bought all my rods from, his garage

I found this rod at a yard sale, looks to be from the 1970s. Fiberglass, 9 foot long. As you can see, the label is pretty beat up. I can make out "Vancouver" on the label, but don't know if that is WA or BC.

Just curious of anyone has heard of them before, and know anything about them. Thanks!

It's been so long I don't remember what they were made of, but I do remember that the blanks were kind of a yellowish orange, leaning towards yellow))

I have a one piece Reeder fiberglass spinning rod and also a 11’ bank rod used for sturgeon fishing. When I first acquired the spinning rod I took it to Burkheimer’s in Washougal where they retied the whole rod with new eyes. They do excellent work there and specialize in spey rods used in flyfishing. Eric Clapton is one of their customers.

Hey Marc, i'm gonna need to know your address and where you store that spinning rod! You know, just for general information, lol I think I had at least 10 of his rods, various sizes for different fish and fishing places, and I got extremely broke at one time, and I lost them all in an unpaid storage unit. I almost cry thinking about it.... I hope you know I was just kidding... mostly))

I have one. Years ago. we all went to the coast and got blown off the water. We jammed back to town down at Sellwood Park to the Ifish picnic. There was a bunch of giveaway gear. I was looking at a rod and Reel and the guy said you can have that but you gotta take this other one too. It was a reader rod and it’s beautiful

I vaguely remember a storefront somewhere along St. Johns, IIRC.
St. Johns and Minnehaha - looked it up.
