Indian bamboo fly rods

Question
I inherited a fly rod with an indian head above the handle. It appears to be split bamboo. What can you tell me about this rod.

Answer
Bob,
It is probably a Mohawk model from Horrocks-Ibbotson, it is not very valuable. The Mohawk was a 6.5 foot fiberglass rod.
They are looked down upon by the collecting community and often they are justified. They were mass produced , rather heavy and very slow. They are not going to resale for very much.
A small portion of these rods are decent fishing tools . It is the collector community that decides the prices , please  don't blame the messenger.
I find two books are available at larger libraries to get history and or value:
Antique & Collectable Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 .
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook -Michael Sinclair
A website with Horrocks-Ibbotson  historical type information:

Your description is too brief for me to be any more thorough, pictures to [email protected] would help. Please read the suggested rod descriptions needed at all experts.
Luck,
Mac
