Heddon rod?
Question
I was wondering if you could tell me anything about a Heddon Mark III Power plus Action 8'3" two piece fly rod. I was trying to find some information on this rod and its worth. Is it an antique? or fishable? or both.. Is it a trout rod? Or maybe how old it is. Im considering bidding on it in an estate sale and dont want to get ripped off, it seems in excellent condition.
Answer
Hi Gary, the fiberglass rods are not really my speciallty, but they are included in one of my reference books (ca. 2003). The Mark III model is listed at $35 in very good condition and $65 in excellent to mint condition. These prices are 4-5 years old and could still be valid, but probably are a bit higher today. I don't have a firm date for manufacture but I would guess the rod to be 30-40 years old
