Does anyone know anything about old fishing rods??

My husband and I bought a Delux fishing kit and the only company name we can find is GlobeWe have spent the better part of the day researching for it but haven't been able to find anythingThis rod is a fly fishing rod that is split bamboo and its still in its original boxthere are also an almost complete set that includes flies and lineThe price tag on it says $29.95what we want to know is around when and where it was made and possibly the value in todays market.

Answer:

Granger built a rod called the Deluxe which was made of split bamboo and highly sought by collectorsI don't believe you have that, though from what you saidOriginal box - this leads me to believe it is a post WW2 Japanese made rodAt the time almost all American rods came with a rod sock and a tube (either cardboard or aluminum)Japanese made rods were usually packaged in inexpensive wood boxesThe reason they are not worth much is because they were not made from Tonkin cane and were manufactured cheaplyLook at the box and see if you can see some Japanese letteringIf so, you may get $25 for it on OKorder.
