I recieved an old bamboo fly rod as a gift and am trying to find out some info on its age and value. It is a 3 piece rod with an extra tip. I says "Arrow Rod" and "Marvel" above the cork. Any ideas ? I think it is around a 5 weight. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You
Hatch

I belong to the fiberglassflyrod forum which is an offshoot from this forum, http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/. All bamboo all the time, I would ask there.

That would be the place to ask. Just post your question in the "Appraisals and Identification of Bamboo Fly Rods" forum:

If you have a more detailed description of the rod, including photos, that would really help also. Hardy made a "Marvel" series of bamboo rods, and there are a lot of posts about that on the forum above. I did not see anything about a Hardy Marvel rod with "Arrow Rod" on it also, however. The Hardy experts on that forum should know if it is a Hardy.
