Old Bamboo rod info
Hey guys. I build fishing rods for a living,
but have ran into a problem. I am not really savvy about the worth of old fly rods. A fellow contacted me recently and wants to trade a 10' Allcock Gunner and a Abby & Imbrey reel for a new custom graphite rod. I am not sure what kind of rod to trade him, because I don't know the worth of the reel and rod. The rod has the original decal and is in 90% condition. The reel is a 2" brass and is in 60% condition. The rod is about a 6wt. Like I said I know most things about the new graphites and what not but the old bamboo rods are a mystery to me. Any info would be helpful.
