由 David Rose It looks like you’re inquiring about a discontinued or rare fly fishing rod, possibly the Coatac Together 8’6″ 5/6-weight model (2402F 21). Here’s what I can gather based on your query:
Possible Interpretation:
– Brand/Model: Coatac Together (possibly a Japanese or niche brand, as “Coatac” isn’t widely recognized among major fly rod manufacturers like Sage, Orvis, or Hardy).
– Specs:
– Length: 8 feet 6 inches (8’6″)
– Line Weight: 5/6 (designed for either 5-weight or 6-weight fly lines)
– Model Code: 2402F 21 (likely a serial or product code)
Is It Rare/Discontinued?
– If this rod is no longer in production, it might be considered a collector’s item, especially if it was a limited edition or from a defunct brand.
– Check Japanese auction sites (Yahoo Japan Auctions, Mercari Japan) or European specialty shops, as Coatac may have been more popular overseas.
– Vintage fly fishing forums (like [Fly Fishing Forum](https://www.flyfishingforum.com/)) or Facebook groups dedicated to rare tackle could help track it down.
Where to Find It?
1. eBay – Search for “Coatac Together fly rod” with filters for used/discontinued items.
2. Japanese Marketplaces – Use a proxy service (Buyee, ZenMarket) to search for コアタック フライロッド (Coatac fly rod).
3. Classifieds – Try specialized sites like [Global FlyFisher](https://globalflyfisher.com/) or [The Classic Fly Rod Forum](https://classicflyrodforum.com/forum/).
Value Considerations:
– If truly rare and in good condition, it could fetch a premium among collectors.
– Compare to similar discontinued rods (e.g., Hardy, Daiwa, or niche Japanese brands).
Would you like help identifying alternatives if this rod is unavailable? Or are you looking to sell/authenticate it? Let me know how I can refine the search!
