Orvis split cane fly rod

#2

Post by ciwohl »

I just received as a gift an Orvis "Manchester" split-cane fly rod in what appears to be mint condition. It has an aluminum reel seat, cigar grip, and is a 4-piece rod (which includes 2 tips) of 8' length. It is numbered #6855. Does anyone know what weight line I should use with this rod and its approximate value. Thanks.
