I Have a friend who has an old Shakespeare Fly rod maybe 30-40 years old. Model Honor Built- Honor Sold- A1305B, 9ft. with an extra tip. He has asked me to find out if the rod is worth anything. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.

It's worth a few bucks, nothing exceptional. It is a novelty to some degree, of course, and probably a keepsake for anyone interested in antique tackle.

It was an inexpensive rod new. Not much in the way of collection value. If in brand new condition, a Shakespeare fan might want it.

This rod is about 65 years old and if in very good condition could most likely get about $300. If degraded with a missing guide or two and wrapping coming apart, about $75. Good luck.
