I would like to know what a fly rod called scientific angler bought in the 1960’s would be worth? It’s 8′ 1.
I found this fishing rod in my husbands closet after he died. It is in cloth cover and in metal tubing. It is a system 6 with a line weight of #6. It is in almost perfect condition. We had three daughter’s who have no interest in fish, so I thought I would sell it, but don’t know where to start.
Scientific anglers are more famous for their fly lines being of excellent quality, they haven’t made many rods except a few, they are a good make and you should get about $50-110 for it, possibly more if its a limited edition or if its in good condition and a collector wants it. Its a shame no body wants to use it but these things happen. Try eBay i would put a reserve on it of a minimum of $80 if its in good condition.
I saw a Scientific Angler Fishing reel for $100 on a Web site. I can’t find a similar rod.
Amazon sell a book with values for Antique Fishing rods.
