Kiraku fly rod
Question
I have a hexagonal bamboo fly fishing rod with a fly rod 8 ft and cas rod 5ft. It is in a wooden box with a variety of fly hooks, luers etc. There are fishing license buttons for 1950-53 along with one for 1942 in the box. Are there any value to these items?
Answer
Hi Tom,
This is one of the rod kits made in occupied Japan following WW II. They appear frequently on the market with a variety of brand names and configurations. The fishing license buttons are interesting and may attract some buyers. Value on the kit is in the $20-$60 range depending on actual contion and how complete the kit is today.
Thanks, Joe
