Going through my stash and came across this Ultra light spinning rod. Has Rockland tackle under Mignon-Mate 60. Any info on this? I assume it's italian. only one I have ever seen but not looking really hard at spinning reels. I'll try to post pics tomorrow if I can. thanks in advance

I would assume it's not Italian, because shipping rods didn't make a lot of sense back then.
Odds are, it's US-made and named to match with tiny Italian XUL spinning reels.
Here's a photo

Rod is marked Continental Arms Corp. (importer of Mignon reels)) and inked on shaft "Mignon Super Lite"
Rods were made for Continental Arms Corp. in the US.
