fishhunterd, That rod is definately made by Horrocks Ibbottson and sold by Montgomery Wards. It is a combo rod. Just rebuilt one for my cousin. Try a 6 wt line on it, should work nicely. Value in good condition is about a hundred bucks. According to info I found it sold for a whopping $9.95 in 1951. Take it out and fish it! Enjoy!
