Valuation

[neil r 1,861]

Ive been offered a pole but ive not done any of that kind of fishing for over 10 years and i dont know what sort of money i should be paying for it . The poles a 17.5m browning champions choice 910 with 9 top kits , a couple of short no4 sections , half extenstion and cup kit . I know it was over 3 grand new but that was a good few year back . Assuming its in decent condition (ive not looked at it yet) has anyone any idea what its worth

Neil,there an old pole,things have progressed,if it has no repairs,and all the sections have plenty of meat on them it could be worth 400 tops imo.

+1,as Blackworm says things progress so quickly in the tackle industry,20+ years ago I reckoned on paying 150 to 200 notes for a decent carp rod,can buy a far superior rod for £60 brand new now Im sure its a good pole that will do its job,but value wise it wont be worth a fortune before parting with your cash have a look at what you can get new for the same money,if nowt else it will give you some bargaining power whilst thrashing out a price with your mate ATB Dave

£500 ish. Maybe £600. It was their top of the range pole at the time, and it was 17.5mts. Most poles were "only" 16mts. 9 top kits is also a lot, and would have cost you more than £500 to buy them when it was new. (You didn't get many with the pole then)

 

IIRC Browning poles were pretty good if prone to breaking (Were a little brittle)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, if anyone can lay their hands on a number 6 section for a Daiwa Tournament 710 pole, i'll buy it. (Bust mine)

Dont really want to go more than 5-600 because it wont be used that much , just the odd trip to local lodges when i cant get on the rivers for barbel
