Post by john elder »

I came across this ad in a Fisherman's Almanac from 1957 and thought it worth sharing. I seem to recall someone asking for info on the company recently, but could not find the post to add this:

John,

Thank you very much for this info. I am always playing with Neptuna Cradles. They are a favorite of mine. I still fish with a couple.

Since you made this post I bought a rod belt similar to the one you posted and had another smaller one that just hooks on your belt for a rod with no gimbal. Thanks for your original post ! If any one has seen any other style Nep-Tuna rod belts please let me know !!
