Montague Dreadnought Holloglass 8065 Fishing Rod Specs & Information


Question
The rod lable reads:
Montague
Dreadnought
Holloglass
8065

The rod is two piece; 7'5" long.

I would like to know the manufacturer, year, and specs;
line test rating and lure wt. rating.

Thank you for your help.

Answer
Cardell,
The bad news is that no one has kept any history on fishing rods in writting , in English on anything but bamboo fly rods. Strike One!
I am guessing your rod is made of fiberglass. Strike 2.
and you're out  because it was made by Montague

If your rod has was made by Montague , it is not very valuable.
They 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.

So year, specs, line test rating and lure wt. rating are not going to be found in writing. I am caustics about guessing this kind of information.

Price Book:
Antique & Collectible  Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide by Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book.

Homel gives the A & F boat rod by Montague 8 1/2' with an extra tip, 3 sections the  value of  $15, 35 and $75 for poor, good, and excellent condition respectively. These figures seem inflated in my experience. When I have sold rods like this it was to restaurants to hang on walls , not as fishing tools for $50 and less. If it is thick enough I have also made them into wading staffs and sold them for more than I could get as a fishing tool.

Ebay : I see a Montague fly rod that sold for $26. It would be unusual for a boat rod to sell for more than that.

Luck,
Mac
