Your rod is from the late 60s, early 70s. It looks to be in good shape. I would imagine it could fetch between $25 and $50 on eBay depending on who is looking that week. I think the rod sections are all the original length, but if you auction the rod on eBay most buyers will be skeptical. I would recommend that you include some close up photos of the ferrules (the ends where the rod sections slide into each other) and a photo of the fully assembled rod. Hopefully, that will convince potential buyers the rod is good to go. Good luck, Tom

Its a spin/fly rod with what appears to be spigot ferrules. I have a similar length and finished Southbend Outdoorsman fly rod with metal ferrules and case, used, that I paid about $25.00 for, shipping included, about a year ago. It had been used but is still quite useable. I paid about $35.00 for a very nice LL Bean fly spin on 7 ft lamiglass blank about the same time. I saw a similar listed on ebay for a BIN of $115 that didn't sell. There doesn't seem to be much demand for fly spin pack combos of any sort, unless its one of the better known brands. The Wright and McGills seem to go in the $40's to $60's altho I don't follow any of them closely.

Bought mine at a second hand store for $15 a few years ago. Saw somewhere they are rated 7wt. Have fished mine quite a bit with a 6wt and really enjoyed it. Keith
