How accurate this I have no idea In fact I'd like comments
I have been fly fishing and tying for all these years but just take the bamboo out sometimes to pet it .
The 8' Powr-Pact in a 5 or 6 weight is a desirable rod on today's market and one in good to excellent condition should bring between $700 and $1,000 dollars. For a fair appraisal, contact Rick Gottdenker at Rick's Rods in Denver (http://www.ricksrods.com). Rick owns most of the remaining Phillipson bamboo and glass rod stock in the world as well as what was once the Phillipson company.
