South Bend 9ft Bamboo Rod (Model 5256) - Excellent Condition - Seeking Replacement Plug
Question
I have been unable to find out anything about this 9' rod. Even South Bend's website returned 0 matches. The rod is in excellent condition with the original cloth sack with model # on sack and rod. The only thing I can find wrong is the green plastic threaded plug at the base is broken. I am interested in selling if the price is right. I would like to find a replacement green cap/plug if possible.

South Bend was one of the major fishing tackle companies in the US based out of South Bend, Indiana. South Bend fly rods are on the lower end of quality bamboo rods. Also your rod is 9 ft long, which is the most common length. i would estimate value in the $50-70 range
I am not sure where to find a correct replacement cap.
