My mate was given this rod a few years ago, it would be great if any body has any onfo on this rod






Thanks Claw

hello it looks a nice well made rod, what length, what name on logo, i would think an early british fibreglass rod, looks quality with nice stoppers, there is sure to be someone know maker.

Its about 9ft in length, the only wording on there looks like M, a , glas like you said it looks like a quality fibreglass rod thanks for looking.

The logo must be known to some one , It may be a Martins of Edinburgh, they built quality rods in the 60's and earlier,easker1

Been going through some old T&S, 1978 sportfish sold a rod made by modern arms, the 9' rod was a aftm6/7 4oz or a 8/9 4.5oz, could this be one ? says these are made from lamiglas blanks which are probably stiffer than most, cost new £59.52

i am sure i can see some lettering above the logo have a look and let us know, and i have seen that logo somewhere, is an old elasticane rod

If it is a Lammie glass blank from that era they were (probably) 'S-Glass' and the rod action will be darned close to Bamboo.

If so, there are a lot of 'us old guys' that would give a pint of blood to get our hands on that rod. Lamiglas still has a few rod they manufacture out of this material, but all are short sea fishing products.

hi
just found out that elasticane rods were made by MARCO

I also found that MODERN ARMS LTD.CO is also under MARCO. found a thread from here under ROB WILSON FLY ROD, 20th sept 2009 which mentions these rods.
