You have a real winner and it looks to be in great shape . You may well find it to be one of the smoothest casting rods you own. I am a huge fan of the factory Fishers. I had been watching that rod and lost track of the time. Certainly glad to see it show up here. Congratulations !

Great rod. I love the fisher's and those made by them. I've had quite a few from SA, Jannsen, Cortland, and built by blanks. For the most part I feel that they all have somewhat the same progressive feel that is such a sweet caster. Two were way different. The 8'6" 3wt by Jannsen and the only fisher made rod I have, a 7'6" 3wt, are like noodles. I'm sure made on the stalker mandrels or made like them as the controversy went.
I have a 7'3" 4/5wt that is the first rod I built from scratch and still love the smooth action.

I had opportunity to cast this model once, and thought very seriously about buying it.
It was unlike any other strong-progressive Fisher blank that I've ever cast.
I truly regret passing on it.

It is a fun rod to fish on smaller creeks and will protect as light of tippet as you can fish. It casts so lightly and presents so soft. The downside with it is setting the hook with the dryfly. I really have to be on my game with it and the dryfly or I miss a lot. The lift and hook set is telegraphed to the fly as slow as the rod. I imagine it to be somewhat similar to some of the Japanese rods from their descriptions on here.

With the Jansen rod I had you could go make a sandwich while waiting on the back cast. Also designed to protect light tippets with larger trout in lakes.

I prefer the stronger progressive action of the typical fisher.

I do not see that many Fisher factory rods, especially the lower line weights. I also wonder when the changes in builds happened. Talking about the hand writing vs the decal and epoxied wraps.

From what I have seen Fisher factory rods were labeled like this one. They have Fisher Glass, the rod number ,length and line weight in handwritten script.

Upon further reflection/a good night's sleep....Fisher's "3-Jays" rods are factory Fisher Glass with a sticker and not handwritten script. The reel seat, grip, thread color and wrap style are the same. Whether handwritten or stickered they are smoooooth casters.
