Answer
Hi Steven,

There are still people who love the fiberglass fly rods.  They had very nice soft actions.

Every once in a while you hear of one selling for a couple hundred bucks.  But where the rubber hits the road is on E-bay.  There they sell for $40-$80 depending on quality.

Most likely it was made by True Temper.  I believe that St. Croix and Phillipson also made rods for Herters at times.

Is it worth hanging on to, heck ya!  Use it!  They are really tough.  

Good fishing,

Marc
