I won a rod on Ebay today that was #1 on my list for finding. I'll share the rods identity once I actually get it ... most of you probably can guess it's general identity. But I'll report now that it was only produced for two short years, 40 years ago. I was seriously starting to wonder if it actually existed or not as I've been looking high and low for one for a few years now without one iota of evidence that they did other than pictures in a couple old catalogs. It was a long week waiting for this auction to clear but in the end I happily ended up paying much less for it than I expected. I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival at my doorstep!

Nice going David and your happy family!

Sounds great. I had to peak, I think I know, but I won't tell. Will be as much fun waiting for your final report as it is for a reel I have coming.

Congrats on whatever it is!

Did your new rod arrive yet? I'd love to know what you just purchased.

Sweet! Thanks for the picture. Nice find! Where do you plan on using it?

KOOL!

Per the Eagle Claw Catalogs, just from 1973-74.

Dave, next time you come to GA for a visit, contact me and I’ll haul you around to some of my haunts here just across the GA line in southwest NC.
