Whirlpool, yes, I posted a correct link to trademark, in response to the one you had posted that didn't work.

US Patent: Sectional Fly Casting Rod

I will say, quite honestly, looking at a patent document does not require days. If someone is interested in history they will look, otherwise not. No problem.

BTW I'll pull my 3 Grizzly/Grizzly-Fenwick rods out of storage and post photos in a week or so. I'm also somewhat confused where they fit in the history of Fenwick - help with history there from members would be much appreciated.

Well, I did some reading at FFR. If I understand correctly, my 2 Grizzly-Fenwick rods are from 1969/70 and the Grizzly is likely mid to late 60's. When I purchased them several years ago I did not know history and mistook them to be earlier because of the "Grizzly" label.

They probably do not qualify as "inception era" for this thread, but I did mention them here. So, I'll post their photos here.

A few older Fenwick's with the metal ferrules are at the top of my wish list!
