Atlantis Rod Appraisal

Atlantis 2-Section Fishing Rod

This item is an Atlantis brand fishing rod, specifically labeled as "SECTION 2". The rod exhibits a vibrant and somewhat unconventional color scheme, transitioning from a bright orange at the top to a muted purple or grayish-blue towards the bottom. The 'Atlantis' branding is prominently displayed in a stylized, light blue script with an outline, suggesting a dynamic, water-themed aesthetic, and features a small, yellow umbrella-like graphic above the 'A'. Key specifications are printed on the orange section: 'LENGTH 94 1/2 INCH' and 'ACTION 40-80G'. This indicates a rod designed for medium to heavy action fishing, suitable for larger fish. The construction appears to be a composite material, likely fiberglass or carbon fiber given its typical application in fishing rods. The rod is a two-piece design, as indicated by 'SECTION 2', implying it can be disassembled for easier transport and storage. The purple section features a fishing guide, which appears to be constructed with a metal frame and a circular insert, possibly ceramic, wrapped securely with black thread. The wraps appear tight and well-finished, suggesting good craftsmanship for securing the guide to the rod blank. While the overall condition appears to be good with no obvious major damage like cracks or significant bends, there might be minor cosmetic wear consistent with use, though this is not clearly visible in the provided image. The bold color scheme suggests it might be aimed at a recreational fishing market or a specific user preference for high visibility.
