I was cleaning up around the house and I found a soft sided fishing pole case that said True Temper on it. when I opened it there was a fiberglass looking pole on the outside of a steel tube and there was a handle on the bottom of the case. when I looked in the tube there was an aluminum fishing pole that fit into the handle which the fiberglass one didn't. Looking into it further the handle says The American Fork & Hoe CO., Geneva, Ohio. Any one ever heard of it?
how about posting some pics?not familiar with that particular rod,but american fork and hoe is an old company that made steel rods in the early 1900's.i owned a couple.one true temper tubular steel and a square steel rod from that company.
I say either way you have a really nice piece of American fishing history on your hands there.
