Yesterday afternoon, I accidentally stumbled across one of my grandfathers cane rods in a box stashed away in a corner of my parents storage room. The rod is a 9-foot/3 piece, in decent condition, and has a replacement tip that was in the tube with the other pieces. My problem is I have no idea who the manufacturer was or what weight line it takes. There is nothing legible inscribed on the reel seat, but something like "cooks challenger" is written in cursive (in yellow ink) on the butt end of the bamboo itself. If anybody knows anything about this rod or knows a good place to look for information on this rod please respond.
