any info you can give would be most appreciated thank you
Answer
Clinton,
Mike,
Pictures probably wouldn't help.
I am a US trout bamboo fly rod man myself so I cant help you a lot.
Antique %26 Collectible Fishing Rods: Identification %26 Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book. Homel mentions the maker , Millwards but no 11 footers. There may be a market for it in the UK but there probably isn't one in the US. I am guessing it is a salmon rod so your main Market and source is Canada and Europe.
