Here's my "bomb-proof" Wright & McGill pack rod, the more modern yellow version than my early tobacco-colored W&M's. A tuff rod that I fished in Montana last summer- not as limber as the earlier models but not a fussy rod to handle, either.

Presumed made for LL Bean, but W&M all the way- stamped W&M nickle-silver uplocking seat, Eagle Claw medallion, classic wraps.

Beans Pack Rod
No. MBPR-7-1/2 FT.
Line 7 Mini-Ferrules

The reel is an ABU Diplomat 278- not as old as the rod but a nice match.

Thats a nice one. classic WM. i have the WM version just like it except darker glass. with that granger seat it has to be from the 60's maybe. mine does not hve the "minie ferrules". those heavier ferrules probably effect the speed of recovery of the rod.
