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 RodI 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.
