A friend has some of this rods. They are 40-50 yrs. old, three or four piece, still bundled up. He would like to know what they are worth. Tim

   Hi Tim:

   I'd suggest you take your question to: rodbuilding.org. You will likely get a more informed response over there. Good luck to your friend.

   Try:

   There is another site that has a lot of info on the older bamboo rods but I can't find the link right now. Do a Google search for 'collectible fishing' and it might show up. I found that a couple of rods that I paid $5 ea. for at a garage sale were worth $400-500 ea. Most are not worth a lot but there are a few desirable ones. I've noticed that bamboo rod values fluctuate widely over a period of time.
