I hate to burst your bubble but so many Bamboo rods were mass produced during the second War that the value is nill. There are a few big names which bring some serious $$$ but that isn't one of them. Hope you get enough to get you their but I wouldn't count on it.

Thanks guys but I will just keep it. I thought if it were worth enough I could use it to make a memory with my son. Maybe someday I might have a grandson who fly fishes.

I think it's a good call to keep it. You can search the world market and never buy one handed down to you by your dad. Memories can be made in any price range, but heritage passed down is a rare thing indeed.

You are right about that.

Dad never fly fished a day in his life. He got it in a bunch of stuff at an aubtion a few years back. Had it been something he used and passed on I would not have considered getting rid of it.

Yeah, I hear ya. Still... your kid or grandkid will probably only hear "Your grandpa gave this to me one day...". Magic is more often found in our perceptions than in reality. On the other hand they may stick marshmallows on it and hang it over a fire one campout to come lol.
