QuestionI recently came across three fly rods when I purchased a used boat. They were up in the sleeping quarters and after doing some investigating they seem quite valuable. I am attempting to get a more accurate value of each of these ( there are three in total). There is one "Sage" Model 490 graphite II which is a two part rod. I believe it is a 4 weight and is 9 feet in length. Pics are available if you need them, also this one is on excellent condition.
The second one is a abecrombee and fitch bamboo rod that has a total of three sections but, this rod comes with a total of four different tips which likely represent different weights???
The final one is a Grover or something like that, also a three part system. I can get you more details if this is your line of expertise. Looking forward to hearing from you ...
AnswerMike
The Sage rods are selling in the $100-$150 range, nice rod.
I am not familiar with a 4 tip model, I am wondering if the owner broke tips and purchased replacements (repaired the old ones?) Any further markings on the A&F rod?
Also, Grover doesn't ring a bell on the third.
