Second Hand Coarse Tackle

What to check on used coarse tackle

On feeder and float rods, check every ring and the blank, and count the quiver tips against the listing. A missing tip can be hard to match later.

Reels should wind smoothly with a clean bail arm and a drag that releases evenly. Spare spools are useful for switching line quickly.

On poles, inspect each joint for cracks and make sure the sections fit together cleanly. Ask how many top kits are included and whether they are elasticated.

Look at handles and reel seats for wear, as these take the most handling. Small cosmetic marks are normal on well-used coarse gear.
