Hello everyone.

I found a bamboo rod at a local antique shop. It's a South Bend number 59, and is a 9' rod. According to the line cross reference charts, it's a 7/8 weight rod. It's in excellent condition with original sock, tube, and both tips. Wraps are perfect and finish is good. The full wells grip has a thumb indent, and there's a sticker present in the indent - although the writing is rubbed out.

So anyway, I don't own any bamboo, and know nothing about them, but my question is what is a fair price for this rod? It looks barely used and has no set whatsoever. The dealer wants $125 for it. Too much to pay? I have googled it and can't really find any suitable information telling me if this is a good deal or not.

Your comments are welcome and appreciated.

Regards,
Jeff
