This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

What's this worth? (fly fishing rod and reel question)

Post by cheg »

Hi

I might be buying a fly fishing set but I need your expert opinion on what this is worth and if it's worth buying.

The rod is an never-used PRO-TAC GF90 (approx 20 years old and graphite) and the reel is a 'JW Young & Sons says condex on it in a rim fly box' (that's how the seller worded it).

Cheers

Alex

I couldn't find anything on the rod but there are a number or ebay auctions the reel ranging from $20 US to 100$US. The reel definitely sounds like a collectable (i.e. not to be used)

If you're planning to take up flyfishing I would recommend purchasing newer gear. Personally I would be skeptical of using a 20 y/o graphite rod.
