Mystery Fly Rod


scel

Recommended Posts

My best friend's grandfather passed away this past spring.

 

A mystery tube of fishing rods appeared at his home last week. The PVC tube was filled with bamboo fishing rods, including this fly rod.

Would someone be able to help me figure out what this rod is? Who made it? a possible line weight?

 

Many Thanks

 

EDIT: it is a 3piece 9' rod. A safe estimate places the rod at 40+ years old

The reel seat is probably Varmac which is a low priced reel seat. Ferrules are step down w/o tabs. Again low priced.

Pictures are too crappy to for any more comments.

 

Ricks rods stocks some Varmac that look the same - see: http://www.ricksrods.com/product_view.asp?pID=796

Thanks.

I know that I do not take great pictures. What would help? I am happy to take new pictures.

How would you determine line weight for the rod?
