Location: The desert		I have an old St. Croix Musky Hunter 5500 6'6" rod. It seems pretty old. Does anyone know anything about the rod, like when it was made, how much it might be worth etc? I attached pictures. Thanks.

1948 looks like, didn't make it successful until 1960

1957 Dedicated Musky Rods: Available in 4'6", 5' and 5'6", the Premier® Model 200 was intended specifically for musky hunters of the day. Made of solid fiberglass for the stoutest of freshwater fish, old-timers dug into their wallets for $14.95 to hit the water with one of these bruisers. The number of muskies caught proves the Model 200 was worth it.

Location: Port Washington, WI		I have a rod that I am fairly sure is exactly the same model. It was my grandfathers and I am sure it is at least 30 years old but don't know much more than that. Let me know if you come up with any more info on it.

Carboloy tips, Skyline, mid 70's I think. So, probably newer than that.

No graphite?

Those are guides to hang on to, even if you don't like the rod.
