Dowagiac, Michigan This was handed down to me and I was wondering if it is  
worth anything. Thanks for any help you can give me. Gary

Answer
Gary,
I am assuming 'Lgt. 9' means the total rod length is 9 feet.

The butt ferrule size is designated by "2F" or "2 ?F". The larger the number, the stiffer the rod. For three piece rods, a 2F is usually a trout rod and 2 ?F is a bass rod.
