H & I Rod
Question
I have an H & I Co. 5' casting rod in excellent condition. It has the "trout" decal, #206, Power Glass. Any idea of its value?
Thank you,
John
Answer
Hi
H&I stands for Horrocks Ibbotson. Unfortunately, the collector interest is in the split bamboo rods, particularly custom built rods made in the US. Also, fly rods are more coveted than spinning or bait casting.
Your rod was probably made in the 1950s. ($5-$15)
