Looking for old Sage catalogs from 1980's and early 1990's.

Yes, they were visually sumptuous productions, weren't they? And filled with priceless information to determine things like things like when the "brownies" were current, and what each model was recommended for. I have ten, from 1991 to 2009. I won't sell them all, because I want to keep some for the information, and others like the 1996 catalog. The cover shot of a solitary angler stalking a riser on Idaho's Big Lost River is the most gorgeous fly fishing photograph that I've ever seen.

What were you thinking about paying?
Wish someone would scan those and put them on line somewhere.

Perhaps I should borrow yours from you and do just that, @Nooksack Mac.

I had a bunch of them but threw most of them away when I moved some 10 years ago. I like the information on the rod's specifications like weight, tip diameter, etc.

Which of the ones you got still has the 500 reel series described?

I don't know what old catalogs are worth? I'd be interested up to 1993.
A real good scan would be okay too.

Just let me know what you think.

I have the 1991 catalog in excellent condition. It has the specs for the 503 L, 504 L, 505 L, 506 L, 508 and 509 reels: capacity, weight, etc. I'll sell it for $5, delivered. Sorry that I haven't had time to answer you until now.

I have a bunch of those also, I would let you look at them and scan them if I live close to you.
I would have to look I might even have some doubles.
I was thumbing through some stuff today and ran across a 1976 Dan Bailey's catalog,
made me feel old.:(

A two year old fly fishing catalog is scrap paper; the same catalog when 40 years old can be a valuable piece of history.

No doubles, those are old G Loomis catalogs.
Thanks guys!
@nook: I'll shoot you a pm
I found I have some catalogs from Scott, Madison river fishing company, Flyshop
@Earl:
Which year(s) do you have? I'd like to take a look at some 1980's catalogs.
Sorry, I can't find any of my real early ones I have are 1980- 1990 10th anniversary catolog, 92,93,94,96,98,99, and 02, a couple of the early 90s I have doubles and one is new in a envelope that they sent me.
My 1980-1990 does show the early LL rods when they were graphite 2 not 3.
