Found a Fiberglass Rod at a Flea Market this weekend but it has no makers name on it. It just says.
4784 81/2' weighr 8 line. Color looks like Bamboo, 1 chrome strpper guide 4 chrome snake guide and tip.
Down locking alum. reel seat, cigar grip with a inch long plastic tip on it, also a silver foil lable printed in brown almost everything is rubbed off except "Model 4787 8' 6".
I know this is not much to go on but any help IDing this rod would be a great help.
Thanks in advance

Mark,
Posting a picture would be a big help in identifying the rod. Besides, most of us like looking at pictures of old rods so you must keep us entertained!
Ok, I've never done "photobucket" give me a little time to take pic's and figure things out.
A quality glass rod would have more guides than that.
Approximately one guide per foot of rod lenght.
Cheaper rod skimped in the number of guides.
Good rule of thumb
dudley, Thanks, thats info I can use. The rod needs a few repairs made.
Trying photo bucket for the first time.

I still wonder if this is working :shock:
I messed up the Pictures, to darn big, sorry guys
That looks suspiciously like a yellow Shakespeare WonderRod to me.
RG/AR, Is that a good thing? I know nothing at all about "glass" rods.
