        <![CDATA[ My high school fly fishing club was just given 4 rods from a friend whose Dad has passed on. One of the rods was a low level graphite-of no interest here(but a
fine gift to a student with no rod!)... the problem is, he handed me 3 rods- in tubes with decals intact- of fiberglass rods. All are Beans Double L rods- one
a 6 1/2 ft 6wt, one a 71/2 ft and one an 8ft. Neither the 71/2 nor the 8ft rod have line weight numbers on them. The 61/2 DOES, and has a cork band reel seat.

<br>
<br>
I knew you would be here-i hear you have done well on the Outlet this fall-might see you thee.
<br>
<br>
As for the school I work at, we have had a fly fishing club for about 6 years. We have on average about a dozen active kids-and we have raised enough money
each year to spend a weekend at Grand Lake stream fishing for salmon. For the last 3 years running, every student has landed at least one quality salmon- many
on flies they tied themselves. We also have a part in... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hutch, surprized to see you here. Keep me updated as to what you decide to do with those rods. Is your friend that gave the rods a Fisherman? If so he will
probable love those rods. You should try them too. They might cure that nasty cane habit of yours. I&#39;ve been longing for a light Phillipson since I cast a
couple at the Clave in Deerfield a few years ago.

Cheers

			<description><![CDATA[ btw, they&#39;re probably all 6-wts.
<br>
you can experiment with a lot of good lines, but I like short-belly WF lines, like Teeny First Cast and SA Head Start on short rods, and either full length WF
or DT on the longer rods. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The 6&#39;6&quot; rod is worth about $325 if it&#39;s anywhere close to the condition of mine, and 7-1/2&#39;er is worth only about $50-75 less.
<br>
Even the 8&#39;er is a Great rod, and IMO is still worth about $200. 
<br>
If you really want to get rid of them, you&#39;ll blow the doors off ebay...
<br>
<br>
you could always list them for a bit less here, and split the cash with your friend. 
<br>
<br>
Best choice, of course, find some nice matching reels and fish them !!!

			<description><![CDATA[ Hutch, welcome and tell us a little about your club, sounds interesting.
<br>
<br>
To second JeffSod&#39;s comment, ultimately you may find our forum&#39;s Fiberglass Fly Rods For Sale discussion of interest.
<br>
<br>
Take a bit of time to research these Dbl LL&#39;s here by entering the descriptives on the Search page, as well as on any other venues before listing them.
<br>
<br>
One advantage here is that you will receive only Private Messages replying to your offer- no public bidding or... ]]></description>

Boy thats a hell of a nice gift! The short one is worth at least 200.00 and your friend would have no problem selling all three here on the forum. ]]></description>

Ballpark worth? I tend to think we should return them to him. Hutch ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dear Hutch,
<br>
<br>
Welcome to the Fiberglass Flyrodders!  I&#39;m afraid the neighbor had it wrong.  If the glass rods match the photos bulldog posted, they are worth more than
the graphite.  If possible, could you post a couple of photos?
<br>
<br>
What is the goal for your school fly fishing club?  What sort of fishing does the club do?  It may be possible to sell the LL Bean rods and finance the
purchase of a few suitable graphite rods.  By the way, there is nothing wrong with graphite,... ]]></description>
