hi all ... name is Andrew and i am new to this forum ... i was referred to this site from a collector friend of mine to see if anyone could help me with an ID ...
i was digging around in grandpa's garage before we sold his house a couple years back and came across a (presumed) fly rod with the label:
Betts Fishing Tackle No. 29S Betts Mfg. Co. Detroit 19, Michigan
does anyone have any information on this rod (year, use, weight, orig. price, etc.)?
a side note: it looks as though grandpa used a saw to saw of the butt of the rod at the 10" mark (measured from the top of the handle towards the butt) ... just wondering if anyone has the original pic of this rod as i want to restore it as a Christmas gift for my father ... thanks to any who can help ...
