Re: SOUTH BEND Fly Rod Catalog Listings, 1924-1954
#41Thank you for the South Bend Catalog listings. I was able to identify what I bought. I have a 59-9' that is indicated as Bass or Steelhead action so it may not fit well with my small trout stream fishing. My question is what modern line weight would be appropriate for this rod? The catalog indicates C-HCH-GBF in one year and D-HCH in another.

#43Thanks to member SteveQ.CA who has taken the time to create a master chart of all South Bend bamboo fly rods from 1924-1954, listing details of all reel seats, grips, windings, hardware, sizes, weights and years of production. An easy reference that was gleaned from all the catalog listings in this thread. A rather massive undertaking, that can be seen below. Thanks, Steve.
