The first rod I used was a bamboo one with 2 guides and a squidder with a block tin. It was probably 20 years old at the time, late 60s.
The 6'6" rod refers to the tip which fit in the wooden handle that was about 30" long so that made it a 9' foot total rod.
I love this old stuff.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
