Epoxite - the last Phillipsons after 3m
You have a keeper

Phillipson sold blanks and kits, same blank as used in their factory rods of the time. Yours is a hobby or small-shop build on a Phillipson blank, a darn good blank, so if the build is good, you have a darn good rod. I don't know if Phillipson supplied the somewhat unusual guides they used at the time with the kits, but best I can see in the picture, yours has them. That suggests that the rod was built from a kit with instructions and including components that replicate the factory rod. Can't go wrong with that.

Across the board, Phillipson rods have a wonderful progressive taper.
While most of the 8' rods are 7-wt, if you can find the 5- and 6-wt models, they really shine and are quite possibly the best of the bunch.
But back to that wonderful progressive taper, Phillipson rods are the only rods that roll cast with aplomb down to 6' length. E-glass is the only material that will accomplish this, and Bill Phillipson took advantage of its intrinsic properties, more so than any other glass rod maker, IMO. (Admit I also have a rare Lami 605 that is a close contender.)

yes, and then there are Phillipson 7'ers, which is the same thing in a pocket rocket, and 6'6", and...

You ought to regret it. :-)
