    Nice!

    I have two 7 ft 7" split bamboo rods that I have to get around to restoreing then I'm going to e-bay them.

    I haven't been fishing in a couple of years, but my 3 youngest kids are getting to the stage when I want to teach them, so I'll be dusting off my rods and reels.

    I have 3 identical carbon fly reels with spare cartridges I bought 5 years ago ready for this day, so all I have to do is put backing and line on them and we'll be ready to rock

    If 200$ is a steal, what would have been the fair price?

    I know zip about fishing rods. I used to fish when I was ten (still have a split-cane rod lying about somewhere) but I gave it up after a couple of years.

    the last time I saw a bamboo fishing rod in that condition at auction it went for £380, approx $600 .

    I've heard of one bambbo rod builder who builds4 rods a year, get $3000 each and has a 3 year backlog.
