Neighbors were having a yard sale as I drove by. I saw a bunch of rods lined up so I stopped it. All of them were spinning gear so I asked about fly gear. He brought out 3 rods. A cheap Wal-Mart combo, a Fenwick graphite 8 weight, and a bamboo rod. I bought the bamboo rod and a pflueger 1495.
The rod is a Montague Sunbeam 9' 3 piece with 3 tips. The bamboo was dirty and the wraps aren't in great shape but looked structurally sound. The middle section is missing a guide and 2 of the tips have a bend in them but I can fix that. I paid $20 for the combo and think I made out alright. I plan on refurbishing it.
You guys have any info on this old guy? What line weight might agree with it?
