Hello. Trying to properly value an H&I Black River. This page was very helpful, but one thing didn't match up. This rod....mid to late 1940s based on the logo??.... is either a two-piece 5'6" rod or a three-piece 8'6" rod. Is this different than the standard Black River 6'6" / 8'6" rod??
Thanks in advance.
Bob
Horrocks & Ibbotson Black River ...5'6" not 6'6" ?
