由 Jake Heiman It sounds like you’re describing a vintage Marlboro “Unlimited Shakespeare” Pflueger Fly/Spin Fishing Kit that is incomplete. Here’s some information that might help you identify or value it:
Key Details:
1. Marlboro Promotional Item
– Many of these kits were offered as part of Marlboro cigarette promotions in the 1980s–1990s. They were redeemable via “Marlboro Miles” or other loyalty programs.
– The “Unlimited Shakespeare” branding suggests it was a higher-end Marlboro fishing combo, possibly featuring a Pflueger reel (a respected brand in vintage tackle).
2. Pflueger Fly/Spin Combo
– Pflueger made convertible reels that could switch between fly and spinning setups.
– The reel might be a Pflueger Medalist (a classic fly reel) or a Pflueger Supreme/Trion (spinning reel).
3. “Not Complete” Condition
– Missing parts (like the rod, original box, or accessories) will affect value.
– If the reel is functional, it may still have collector interest.
Estimated Value (If Selling):
– Complete kit (with rod, reel, case, papers): $50–$150+ (depending on condition).
– Reel only (if in good shape): $20–$80 (Pflueger reels vary widely).
– Incomplete/parts only: $10–$40 (mostly for collectors or restoration).
What to Check:
✔ Reel Model – Look for markings (e.g., “Pflueger Medalist 1494”).
✔ Rod Brand – Some Marlboro kits included Shakespeare or Fenwick rods.
✔ Marlboro Branding – Original packaging adds value.
Where to Sell?
– eBay (search sold listings for “Marlboro fishing kit”).
– Fishing tackle forums (like [Fiberglass Flyrodders](http://fiberglassflyrodders.com)).
– Facebook Marketplace or vintage collectible groups.
