I forgot to mention the rod is a one piece. I can try and post better pics too if you'd like

By the way, where do you live? I like to run through the neighborhood and check out the trash myself.

I picked it outta the trash at a flea market in CT. Someone bought it as a combo it originaly had either a 706 or a 704 greenie on it and they tossed the rod in the trash im assuming cause of the missing stripper guide or they didn't have any way of bringing home an 11-1/2' rod. It's always nice to go to these places with rod racks :-)

I certain that it's not a Murat wrap. Both Charlie and Dave would do something (red, blue, green) over yellow. Also almost never saw then use straight cork. Usually cork tape but the color over yellow was a trademark for them.

I bought a white spiral Lami spinning rod from Dave, right off the rack in the store, that had a split straight cork grip just like that one. Blue over yellow wraps. Same white crutch-tip butt cap as that rod, too.

Mike, the blue over yellow was a Dave & Charlie special. I have had, and still have 30 or 40 Murat rods. None I have or have ever seen have just a single color. And I did say "almost never" when it came to the cork.

I think that if you look a little closer at the wraps, they're red over yellow.

But, the guide wraps look too small to be Murat's.

My neighborhood only has trash in the trash.

I posted this on the other site a while back and someone suggested that Al Cappy out of Everett Mass may have wrapped this, does that name sound familiar? And also judging by pics is it possible to tell if its a 136 2m or a 136 3m? I know it's probably a long shot...

Thanks for all the info on the rod.

Really can't tell the blank from a photo, because all of those blanks have roughly the same tip diameter.

Looks like that rod was made, when the mind set was the less guides the better.. mono choking,, I had a ten footer with a tip and 3 guides .
