Just got a 2 piece WM flyrod at a garage sale.It has a red/burgandy reel seat 7'6 with multi color wraps on the snake guides.It has 3a on the rod and the
length.It doesnt have a line weight or anything elese.It feels like a slow action rod but unsure of the line weight or anything elese on the rod.Can anyone
give me some info on the rod .Thanks

When you realize that this rod actually came out of the factory looking like this, well it just adds a little charm.

your rod is rated HDH, so see this chart which will tell you the wt line to use. Congratulations on finding such a nice rod.

Rosser you may find that a DT5 works for you. My money is in DT6 or WF7.
