Question
Brand label Rod handle reel lock
Hi Rich,
I recently acquired this Ruko 9 foot two piece Fiberglas fly fishing rod and nobody seems to have heard of it before. It appears to be a very well built Rod with nice action but I am more than curious to find out more about it and what it's value might be, if in fact there is any value to it .
I have attached a few pictures which might be helpful. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
John
AnswerJohn - That is an interesting rod you have there. I've never heard of Ruko nor can I find any information on them either. The rod looks very much like a Silaflex fiberglass rod from the 70's or 80's. I doubt it has much value aside from being a good fishing tool. I would recommend you go to http://fiberglassflyrodders.com/forum/index.php and post your rod photos there. I am by no means a total glass rod expert...I focus on Powell rods. But if anyone can tell you more about that rod the guys on that forum can. Thanks and I hope that helps.
Rich
