horrocks fly rod

Question
i have a horrocks fly rod and also want info on it's value.  it has a name in script "turn-n-spin".  do you have info on this rod?

Answer
Tommy,
I have information on Horrocks-Ibbotson Co. rods.

Books:
Antique %26 Collectible  Fishing Rods: Identification %26 Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book.
el names on the butt section.
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook by Michael Sinclair

Neither mention the model named 'turn-n-spin' for H-I but they used script model names on the butt section.


Allot more information would help
like number of sections , length of rod and sections
type of rod , cast #reel above  the handle#  ,fly #reel below #  or both

But in either case your rod is not very valuable
HI rods are looked down upon by the collecting community and often they are justified. They were sort of mass produced , rather heavy and very slow. They are not going to resale for very much.
A small portion of these rods are decent fishing tools . It is the collector community that decides the prices , please  don't blame the messenger.
