Any Fly Rod Experts Here?

I foud this old rod in the basement. Owndering if anyone might know a bit about it.







Thanks for any help.

I did some Googling, but found only junky ones. Didn't know if someone might know the age of it.

I would say to PM steelheaderdu as he builds custom fly rods and is quite knowledgable. I have fly fished for about 25 years but do not know what you have.

if you can not get John (steelheaderdu) to answer your PM, then PM JPH and ask him to get the message out for you.

i have been flyfishing for about 10 years now and i dont know exactly what you have there..but i do know shakespere has been around for 50 plus years..
i have 8 bamboo flyrods which are valuable..they were given to me by my grandfather and i am told they are worth some descent money... if ur rod is made of bamboo then it is worth something..
everything in this world is worth something.. depends on who wants it and how bad they want it..
i say hold on to it..
check ebay..

The latest of the two patents was issued June 12, 1956. Fiberglass fishing rod invented by A.L. Scott for Columbia Products Company.

BTW, this link doesn't open the images in my firefox browser. Opens fine in explorer. Could be issues with my firefox, though.

Doesn't tell you the value, but hopefully helpful anyway.

Thanks every one. I was hoping it was bamboo. But it is cool enough to hang in a future man room.
