Wright McGill fiberglass rod


Question
Hi , I bought this fiberglass rod just as a joke because I'd never seen a square rod before. Now I wonder to its value ???( I bought it for 2 dollars at the flea).  How old is it ?  Should I be using it or hang it on the wall? Its a Wright McGill Daisy SS  6 1/2' square fiberglass 2 peice rod.  Thanks Tom

Answer
Hi Tom,

You can find square and round solid fiberglass rods still out there in the flea markets.  They date from the 1950s-1960s and don't really have much collector value.  You might triple your money on this one...maybe even get as much as $10 in excellent condition.

They are very durable rods, work well, and catch fish.  They are heavy by comparison to today's rods.  The square ones tend to be Wright-McGill but I don't know if that was an exclusive thing or if other brands also had square rods.  My first fly rod was a round solid glass rod that I still have but don't use much these days...it and I are both retired.

Use it.  You may find you like it better than the new ones.  You can certainly afford to have a whole boat full of these.

Thanks,  Joe
