I have recently been given some old rods and reels.
A Daiwa Moonraker Superb
An Abu mag
Penn squidder
And finally a rod of unknown make but is fitted with a genuine fugi reel seat and BNHG guides the label/sticker is still there but un readable

Can anyone shed some light on them? I.e, were they high quality or budget gear when new? Popular? Ground breaking in design or run of the mill copies?
Not looking to sell, I am just genuinely interested in their place in angling history.

Cheers
