Beautiboo rod with pics

[dcabarle]

Someone asked me to appraise this rod for him. It is genuine Tonkin Cane (says so right on the rod).

One of the ferrules pop nicely, comes with extra tip and, check out the reel seat; You won't find another like it.

So what is the monetary value of this fine piece of fly fishing history?



Now I have a number in mind. Let's hear your numbers.

I just gotta ask....

This isn't the rod MacFoole said he was going to donate is it?

Let me see if I can change your minds about this gem. I held back telling you about the case.




Ok, now that you have the complete picture.

I wonder how much the disposal fee is?

Looks nice in those last pictures DC, but where do you attach the spinner reel on?

 

[tomfly]

Is that a designer table cloth?

DC sews them in his spare time to help keep N.E.F.F. afloat.

Needle and thread are not cheap you know, and his eye sight isn't what it use to be.

That is why when someone sneaks around selling flies or dubbing.. he gets kinda upset.
