Hi
Does anyone know where you can find the value of an old bamboo fly fishing rod. It is a 3 piece rod and I believe the maker might be Allen. It has a Heddon 320 reel on it as well
I picked up at yard sale,but not sure if I got a deal or not
Any information would be great. Rod is in mint condition
Post or send me pictures, need close ups of the handle decal first guide etc.

It is probably not worth much so go ahead and fish with it. Bamboo rods are quite different from modern rods and you may find you like it. I suggest something other than a weight forward line. A Rio Trout LT might be good. Take it to a fly shop with some old guys working there to help you line it up.
