fly rods and reels
Question
Hi,
We purchased via estate sales 2 fly rods and reels.
1. Mohawk Fiber Glass H-I, with a Wolverine Fly Reel made by Kalamazoo Tackle Co. No. 1695-Model E.
2. Action Glass Tubular Glass with the green cloth cover says Action Rod Model 2086 by Orchard Industries Inc. Detroit, MI Model No. 2086-8"6" w/ a reel by UCO Sttel Head- Spin Fly, Pat. No. 2649259.
Would you please tell us if they are vintage or antique fly rods and reels and what their apporx. value is, if anything?
Thank you for taking the time.
Sincerely,
Rosemarie
Answer
Hi Roesmarie,
I would be out of line answering this one. The real expert on this is Joe Douglas on this site. I do know that the Action rod is probably worth $30. They aren't really a collected brand.
That UCO reel may be worth some money. Could be $100 or more.
The Mohawk rod, again maybe $20.
The Wolverine Fly reel also $20 or less.
Your good find may be that UCO, but check all this with Joe Douglas.
Good luck,
Marc
