I bought it on the Bay. Clasic HI reel seat This is a 7'6" rod. It is the sweetest casting rod with a WF6 line. Does anyone know who made the blank, or anything about thr rod maker? RY

Didn't H-I produce their own blanks? Someone please straighten me out if I've got this wrong. The rod is, undeniably, a "pip" whatever it turns out to be.

I have an old spinning rod I grew up using for trout that was identicle to this (blank that is). I'm a Steelheader and I'm a Fenwick Man! If I'm fishing glass, you bet it's gonna be a Fenwick!

I have a 7 1/2--green colored but otherwise similar characteristics, including the pleasant casting. Mine is a used-up garage sale beater; yours looks pretty nice. I don't know where I have that thing stashed right now; if I run across it I'll post a photo for more comparison as a little closer inspection could nail it as an H-I or show I'm wrong.
