Questioni recently acquired some old bamboo fishing rods and was hoping you could help me find out if they have any value. if not they will look great on my wall. one is a montague 9ft 5in casting rod it has 4 numbers on rod that look like 6090 and it is a one pc rod. another is a wright and mcgill 6ft 5in green hornet. they are not perfect but in good cond. i also have a couple more bamboo rods with wooden handles with no markings. i can send pics if u think they are worth the effort. thank you for your time jon
AnswerJon,
Hang the Montague on the wall - the collectors who set the prices and collect the history won't touch a bamboo spin rod . And they really look down on Montagues.
The Wright & McGill might be worth something but it has to be a bamboo fly rod and I think the green hornet is neither .
Any bamboo fly rod is worth looking at - pictures to
