QuestionI was left a number of bamboo rods by my father when he passed away a couple of years ago and I have two which I would like to learn more about, one is the one mentioned in the title and the other is an Alcocks two piece bamboo. Both are in pristine condition, never fished with. I need to know whether they are worth anything to add it onto my insurance as I would hate for anything to happen to them. I have pictures of them if it would help. I appreciate you taking the time to read my question.
