My Heddon
Question
I have a Heddon Pal #7250 Mark 1 -5' Ultra Light in almost perfect condition but i need to replace the tip. what is this rod worth and what type of real would be a good match.
Answer
Glen
These rods run $30-40 in excellent condition. If your rod is just missing the tip ferrule, then replacing it should restore the value. If the fiberglass is broken at the tip, then its a $10-15 rod.
I would use a Mitchell 308 or Alcedo Micon reel to go with the rod. Both are available on ebay, the Mitchell will be less expensive.
note: prices are down in general with the economy.
