Question
reel seat Logo
I recently purchased a horrocks ibbotson flash rod at a flea market here, It is a 12' 3 piece rod. I cannot find any information on it. I have attached a few pictures of the rod, Is it a fly rod because the eyes seem small. Is it fishable? Any info you can give me on it would be great. thank you for your time.
AnswerHi Joe - It is not a fly rod. The reel seat is above the cork handle...it is a casting rod of some sort. It looks to be in ok shape. Based on what I can see in the photos (which is limited) it is fishable. THe ferrules should not be loose. Look the cane over for obvious cracks as well. I hope that helps.
