I inherited a Sage, 5 wt., 8'9" custom 3 piece rod. It was bought it from a private seller close to 30 years ago, and never fished. Original seller used it twice. I'd like to sell it, but have no idea what to ask. Any idea what such a stick would be worth?

Does it say Winslow or Winslow Rod Company anywhere on the rod or rod tube?

Tube is generic. Blank is stamped "SAGE". The eyelets are ring guides.

Not sure on how much the rod would be worth, but I know the Winslow marked rods/tubes are a rarity. Sorry I couldn't be much help. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Many thanks. I know customs are generally a hard sell. Rod technology has come a long way. It'd be a great rod for a beginner, but less likely desirable for a seasoned fly flicker or collector. I just hate to see it sitting around collecting dust. I'lll never use it.

Honestly? It is not worth much. Probably more beneficial, to you and them, to donate it to a charitable organization and take a tax write-off.
