Vintage R.L. Winston & EC Powell Bamboo Fly Rod Valuation
Question
hello, I have a few rods a friend of mine was throwing away, one of them is a 6' r.l. winston bamboo rod. On the rod itself besides the name it says 6' for 5/8oz. The condition is fair, the eye wraps are deteriorating but the bamboo is in good shape. I also have 3 fly rods, e.c powell, heddon and 1 with no name. What do you think these might be worth?
Answer
Rob,
Vintage bamboo rods can be very valuable depending on condition, model and length.
Winston and EC Powell rods can sell for 1000s of dollars while the Heddon can be in the 100s.
You can send me specifics and photos to macsrods@yahoo.com and I can return specific values.
Luck,
Mac
