Can Abu Garcia assist with valuing old rods?
Abu Garcia is fortunate to have a rich heritage and many people throughout the world that collect Abu Garcia products. Valuing or identifying older products can be tricky. Due to the nature of the vintage market, Abu Garcia has chosen to focus on its core strengths of design and manufacturing of fishing tackle and does not provide a valuing or identification service.
Why is my item not shown on the web site?
Every year Abu Garcia manufactures many different rod models. We work closely with our retail partners to provide exclusive items sold only through their retail and online storefronts. These exclusive items are not listed on the Abu Garcia website but can generally be found on the sites belonging to our customers. Many of the exclusive brand products are very similar to an item on the Abu Garcia website but only those products that are available nationwide throughout all retailers are listed on the website. In addition, if a product is discontinued, it may no longer be visible on the website.
How do I submit an idea or invention to Abu Garcia for consideration?
Thank you for your interest in sharing an invention idea with Abu Garcia. Occasionally we are contacted regarding products and inventions which the submitter hopes may be of value to our business. While some submissions are made without thought of compensation, in other instances the submitter believes their submission will result in Abu Garcia having an obligation to provide payment of some kind. We want such persons to protect their interests. At the same time, we must also protect our interests. We maintain a large research staff and various outside consultants to find ways to improve our products and to develop new ones. Thus, it is quite possible one of our own employees or consultants has already conceived of the same or similar idea as that which you wish to submit, or that we have already noted the idea in various trade and scientific publications.
We have found it necessary, therefore, to adopt a uniform policy for the consideration of all ideas, products, and inventions submitted to us by persons outside of our organization. Under this policy, we can consider only those suggestions for which a copy of our Submission Form has been completed. If the terms herein are acceptable to you, please check the appropriate box, sign, and return the form to us by mail or fax along with a description of your idea, product, or invention. Upon receipt, we will then be able to send your input to the appropriate department for consideration. After we have studied your idea and/or proposal, we will contact you if we have interest in pursuing further discussions regarding its commercialization. Please note that we are unable to accept non-patented ideas for which the submitter expects compensation.
Invention Submission Forms can be sent to the following address:
