how much or where can i figure out how much my bamboo fly rod is worth?
i just got this fly rod from a estate sale alone with a bunch of other stuff, but anyway its 3pcs about three and a half feet each part, there is only one eye and its on the tip, i was told thats how they were made back in the 20's and 30's, i was watching the johnny cash movie walk the line, and when they are fishing in the begining when he was a kid its that kind of rod, its in very good condition, there is no name or part number on it, i just want to kno what its worth, i dont want to seel cuz iam a big angler, and into getting old stuff just looking for some info on it, anything would help i can get some pics of it. please someone help me!!!!! i have been looking around the web and the only thing i get is a headack.
does it even have a reel seat? with only one eye at the tip it sounds to me like you bought yourself an old bamboo crappie pole.
if it does have a reel seat and all the guides just happen to be stripped off, you may still wind up with a crappie pole.
with no label, name or anything, we're all in the dark.
in any event, if it were a good quality splt bamboo fly rod the previous owner would have most certainly taken better care of it.
they usually have two tips.
l hate to be the bearer of bad news but in my honest opinion, if you paid more than just a very few dollars for it, l'm afraid someone saw you coming.
