I brought a Bass Pro Borran Casting Rod back in the 80's and it was stolen and they want to know what it would cost today to replace it, can someone please help me to come up with a replacement cost on it?

 

I know that Bass Pro no longer make them, and what did they replace them with?

 

I was was my most favorite fishing rod.

Don't you mean a Boron rod?  Those were made in the late 70's to mid 80's., as I recall.  No clue on how much to ask for replacement cost.  During the 80's, I had a few friends who owned a BPS Boron rod (6' or so Med to MH spinning rod)  I thought that it was roughly similar to the Berkley Lightning Rods of the time - which were close to the top of the line, readily available rods.

Obviously, since it isn't available anymore, its official cost is "priceless".  Good luck settling with your insurance company on the value of a "priceless" fishing rod.

 

As far as official BPS replacement, my guess is that it as been replaced several dozen times since then.   My advice would be to call BPS, explain your situation and get their opinion on what a suitable replacement would be.  Since it was close to the top of their line at the time, something close to the top of their current line seems appropriate, but that would be more for BPS to say than me.  Good luck
