Does Anyone Know About Fly Fishing Rods?
Posted by admin on Friday, December 11th, 2009
I have a fly fishing rod that I would like to sell but am not sure about it. It was given to me as a gift many years ago and I have yet to use it so I have opted to try to sell it however, there is not a company logo on it. Which leaves me to believe it may be custom made which is likely since it was given to me by a person that makes fly reels. It is very dark green, bamboo handles with silver end and black graphite (I think) where the reel goes. The only writing seems to be handwritten stating 9′ 6wt. in silver then up the rod the same silver handwritting states 15″, 18″ 21″. If anyone has any info that may be helpful I would greatly appreciate it.
