HELP ME identify these rods.

lureofthereel · #1 (**permalink**) 09-01-2008, 12:23 AM

If anyone could help me identify these two rods I'd greatly appreciate it. One is a graphite rod with a label that reads "Clearwater, Black Graphite, FLY90-8." There is also handwritten lettering that reads "custom built."

The other is a bamboo rod and unfortunately is just the butt end section of the rod, but I may be able to find the rest of the rod or else use it in a custom build. It reads, in worn off lettering, "Golden Bamboo Fly Rod."

Please see attached photographs. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated, including your estimated value of the rod(s). Thank you very much.

The bamboo rod looks like it could be a Heddon. I'm definitely not sure, but that grip seems to resemble a Heddon.

First one is probably a 9' 8w. The other might be an L.M. Dickson. Not a very well known name or worth a lot.
