Very nice rod! Can be used as bait or spinner or fly rod...your choice. The tube that it is stored in was repainted. The rod itself is a beautiful 7 1/2 foot Wright McGill Trailmaster. The rod is in great condition and does not look like it was used much if at all. Knowing rods, seeing the difference between the rods made forty and fifty years ago and the rods that are new in stores now, I feel a greater attraction to the older rods. They are beautiful and were made in Denver in a ...superior way by master rod builders, many years ago.
