can you tell me if this is valuable to any collectors out there?  it was my great grandpas

Answer
Hi Jerri,

You did not say if this is a casting, spinning or fly rod.  You also did not say if it is bamboo or fiberglass.  I am assuming it is a fiberglass rod, either casting or spinning, based on having received qeustions about similar rods in the past.  I don't have a good reference book on the Heddon fiberglass rods, but I am looking for one.

Heddon produced "Lucky 13" lures for over 75 years.  They also produced a "#13 Lucky Angler" bamboo fly rod which is not your rod.  I assume they produced a series of fiberglass rods labeled "Lucky 13" to accompnay the lure series at some point.  

Information regarding value is very limited but I have found one or two autions type sales for "Lucky 13" rods that list value in the $20-$40 range depending on the rod and its condition.   I would assume this is a good old fishing rod that you might enjoy using.  I doubt that it has any significant collector value.  Thanks,  Joe
