Thread: Help with fly rod company name ?

  1. #1

    Default Help with fly rod company name ?

    Hey guys,

    I guess I am getting old, I can not remember the name of an older rod company.

    They sold mostly regular gear mostly salt water I think, and some fly rod combos, they were USA based.

    I do not know if they still exist?

    It was a short name; like penn ,or scott.

    They were not by any means luxurious rods, but good old go to rods that were tuff.

    Not a modern company.

    Just spit out any names that come to mind, sooner or later someone will mention it.

    It has been driving me crazy for the last 3 days.

    Thanks for the help.

    Chris

    The "mostly salt water" throws me....but........Fenwick comes to mind as a "middle of the road" builder?

    "Master" maybe.

    Still see spinning gear with that name. Have seen a number of old Master fly rods come through our shop to get guides rewrapped

    And another would be Martin
