price range on a fly rod & reel
Question
I recently bought some fishing tackle from a farmer and in it was a fly rod and reel. don't do fly fishing myself so was looking to sell them but just wanted a rough valuation. The reel is made by hardy bros ltd England and has the inscription the St Aidan on it.and the rod is made by milbro tackle and is a truefly 80 f96/2.thanks hope you can help.
Answer
Hi John,
I am not having much luck finding any information on the rod. I am guessing that it may be a fiberglass?
The Hardy Bros. St. Aidan is a good item. Those are still fetching up to $200 on things like eBay auctions. I would guess that if you have the box or pouch that came with it you could get that amount.
That all said, I am really not the collectibles expert regarding fishing tackle. I would encourage you to post this question to Joe Douglas on this site. He will have some information on the rod.
Good find!
