Did ya follow hazmat guidelines in disposing of those yucky looking curd

I added the Diawa rod the Mitchell was hung on.... pretty "whippy",
and the glass is almost translucent. Seems to be in pretty good shape.
I believe this is one of the keepers you described earlier in the post.

SWEET!!!
I vaguely remember that blank on UL's w/ crappier components, gaudy threadwork,
actual UL specs & something other than "SUPERLITE UL"
(maybe, 8-15# 0.5-1.5oz. is supposed to be S/W UL )
anyway, yours looks nicer & heavier & less common, than I remember

also, don't want to mislead Jason & others -- would you second my description as "Fenwicky"?

I have 2, 7' 2pc Diawa glass spinning rods I purchased when I was 19 years old. I'm now 62! I still fish them and they still work and bring in the fish! They are a grey translucent color. I did have "new" guides put on them about 30 years ago,,, or so, but didn't change the number of guides on them. I'd say they hold up pretty well.

I think, maybe oldest Daiwa Spinmatic rods were grey Japanese glass...  also desirable, esp. UL

As to "Fenwicky".... I do not believe I could pass a blind taste
test.  ...but, I only have one 80's Fenwick. Others mileage
may vary. I do know, I paid a lot more for the Fenwick .
