QuestionI have a older Orvis graphite rod the only writing on the rod says Orvis Graphite 7' - wt. 2 3/8 oz. - 5 wt. line. I was just wondering what might this rod be worth and the make? Thanks.
AnswerJerry,
Really hard to say. I deal with vintage rods usually bamboo. Your rod could have been made in the 70s but I bet you could id the model by look at the Orvis web page:
