Bamboo Pole Value: Identification & Estimated Worth
Question
Hello, I have an 11-12 ft bamboo pole that was passed down to me. It is a two piece with the initials GVD stamped om the metal part of the handle. Any idea on its value? Thank you, Mike
Answer
Hi Mike,
Is this a fly rod or a bamboo pole you use for bait fishing?
If it is a fly rod, I'll need some more information and maybe a picture to help identify it.
If it is what we used to call a cane pole, the value is in the $2-$5 range depending on condition.
Thanks, Joe
