You could also send me pictures. I've collected for years and follow pricing.

Unless they are brand names they have a very low value.

I've restored a number of vintage American and English bamboo fly rods. Post or email pics and we can help you determine what you have. Big names like Leonard, Payne, Thomas, Edwards, Dickerson will be extremely valuable but many of the American (Granger, Heddon) and English (Hardy) large-scale manufacturers can be quite valuable these days too. Also note that many of these classic makers and larger-scale manufacturers made trade rods for third party retailers. These are more difficult to identify and requires some knowledge of bamboo history.
Generally though, shorter rods (i.e. 8' and less) will be worth more money - way more money - as few were made in the day due to 9' rods being standard.

Montague was a large-scale manufacturer of lower to mid-quality rods. Depending on the model it may very well be a decent fishing tool and could bring in a $300-$400. Is there any indication of model on the rod?
The better models include Manitou, Fishkill and Redwing.
Lower grade include Sunbeam, Flash, Rapidan and many others.
Hope this helps. Pics would help.

Here's some pictures. On the label it's partly rubbed but it says S????a Fly. It's missing a guide on the middle section. I included pictures of both tips. Other wise looks to be in very good shape.

By the hardware and thread wraps it looks like a Montigue Sierra, They came in a 7.5 and 8.5 length. As for value its all condition, condition, condition.
