    Default help with fly rod.....

    hey guys,
    i know this has nothing to do with flies, but.....

    i just made a trade with a fellow fisher, i traded a $25 Cabelas reel, and i have to spool it up for him with wf4f... no big deal... did i make a good decision? it was for a boo rod.... and can anyone give any suggestions on value, if this was a good deal, or if its worth fixing......



    there are no markings at all.... no clue on the weight, actual length, (dont have a tape measure handy) age, or maker....

    it does have a few issues, 2 broken eyes, one possibly missing altogether, looks like a cracked seat, and some loose threads..... all should be easy for a vet to fix....

    its a 5 piece, each section is about 13 inchs...

    i figure the cost of my trade is about $50.

    if anything, any of u guys repair rods? or can any of u guys tell what weight rod it is? im obviously not looking to spend alot on repairs, i am trying to get into rob building, but this is out of my league for now!

    all input helps,

    spoof

    PS- i just posted this in the rod building section....

    if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"
