Classic Tackle Treasures

Rediscover the charm of vintage fishing gear.

About Us
D And S Vintage Rods was founded in 2015 by Dawn and Steven Godfrey, a husband-and-wife team with a lifelong passion for angling. The story about us begins in our youth, as we have both been dedicated anglers for many years. This shared experience and enthusiasm led us to create a business focused on sourcing high-quality vintage and potentially rare fishing rods.

At D And S Vintage Rods, we are continually seeking exceptional rods, with the aspiration of providing our valued customers with the opportunity to own the rod of their dreams.


Our Mission


Our mission reflects what matters most about us: a commitment to exceptional products, honesty, and transparency. Every rod is described in detail, including any potential defects, so you can purchase with complete confidence. We welcome enquiries and are always happy to provide additional information or photographs upon request.

We invite you to browse our website and explore our carefully curated range. Should you find a rod that aligns with your preferences, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will endeavour to help make your dream a reality.
