ANSWER: Michael ,
You message is very unclear.
Are you sure you have a fly rod ? What is at the bottom of the butt section , a handle or a reel seat ?
No one, especially  HI made 5 1/2 feet fly rods . HI did make  bait casting rods , "Expert" model at  5 1/2 feet long.  
They also made a model "Pocono" , 7 feet long 2 piece with extra tip. Another model near to "siguture  that looks like prconic on it "are Adirondak.
Most HI rods are at most worth $20. They are not going to be resold . They  are good rods to practice restoration.
I usually pay $2-3  per section for similar rods.
I have bought and fished some fine HI rods , they were light and delicate. However they are thousands of them that were made using mass producing type techniques that are heavy and slow. They are looked down on by collectors and often with good reason.

QUESTION: do you except pictures of them ?

Answer
Do you mean accept or expect ?
I don't think pictures will help.
I think complete sentences and a spell checker would help allot.
