Thanks very much for posting these pics. All of Wonderod collectors out here know this is the one rod to have above all others. Fabulous looking old rod and you are lucky to have acquired it. ...

Thanks Again

Tooty

What a delightful package. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
My eye picks up a touch of the later Graflite.

The fiberglass hoop on the butt is not a reel seat, it is the hook keeper. Only the sliding bands hold the reel on. A Hardy Featherweight matches it perfectly. Originally rated as a 6 weight, then marked on the rods as a 5 weight. I prefer a TT4F or WF 4F with mine. Titanium female ferrule and graphite male ferrule, in 1967! Way ahead of its time.

Hey Purist Thanks for that tidbit about it being the hookeeper .
I saw a photo of one of those rods the other day.
I wondered what it was . Very cool rod .
Thought I heard or read long time ago that the slip rings were made of Kevlar/glass?
Not sure if that was the case or not…
I love wonderods ..
Just picked up a 1951 1280t from Carlz that I fell on love with it on the second cast ..
Won a 6.6 910ul the other day waiting for it to arrive .
There’s just something about those spirals… :P

Thanks Chris for sharing,
these images will enrich my photo archive.
They will also be of great aspiration.

Sorry I only read your post now, but better late than never....

All the best
Paolo
