Old Custom Rod
I got this rod for a present ( won on Sleeze bay)
45$ 11' 6" it's going the be paired with a 704 greenie, I bid on because I think the blank is a Lami Honey glass ???
Is there a way to tell ? I see no markings and the butt section is wood, wrapped with some small dia. cord up to the reel clamp then from there up is the blank,
here's a pic

It could be a 1363m. I have one in honey from about 1977. I think the previous designation for that stick was Lami-Glass 1165. I had a two piece. Fenwick blanks were similar in color. It was a pretty popular blank. They made them in S Glass also. They were lighter. Hope this helps.

I don't know why anyone would cut a 136 3M or 1165 at the butt and fit it with a wooden handle 
I would guess it's an 8' Lami or Fenwick boat/live bait blank that was mated to a 3-1/2' wooden butt. |

I agree about cutting a one piece down. Maybe it had an "accident". My 2 pc 1165 was the first rod I built. (I had a Barracuda and it didn't fit inside)  After that got a Wagoneer added a roof rack and just built one piece rods. I added 15" of aluminum pipe to the tip end of the Lami and built a nice Blackfish rod for inshore. Is the butt and blank connected? or there a locking ferrel??? |

If the second picture is the ferrule where the tip section joins the wooden butt, that looks like a pretty thick blank wall.

Yup It's a Fen Glass rod and belive it or not it's easier to cast and use for plugging poppers, pencil poppers, needle fish for me I had no fore arm fatigue compared to my lighter stuff It just balances out for me , I also caught 4, keepers I kept the 34" all the others were between 37" / 42" no weight under #20.
All fish caught in local H2O way back from open water
