Honest value of a Scott Heliply 8'8" ?wt

Recommended Posts

I have one in a 10wt that I built from a blank, it's my go to heavy bass rod...use to have a 7wt also but that was stolen.

Just ran across an 8wt in a classified....original tube & sock... fished a few times...like new or 8/9 on a 10 scale.

 

I think I'd really like to have it.

 

I've googled them and can't find anyone selling them except this one.

 

I'm thinking $200 max

?????

 

Yeah I know "what's it worth to you" "How bad do you want it"

Don't need those replies

TIA

hehe had too.

 

As a rod builder I'll give ya my opinion. Scott rods hold their value decently. Some models more than others. I would say if it is in REALLY good shape, cork is not worn nor nasty, seat threads are crisp, not all mared or scratched. On the low end $175/$200. On the high end $225
