BILLY: i have an 8-foot "HERTERS" rod that i bought 40 years ago that has been stored in it's original tube as i never learned how to fly fish. in addition to the "HERTERS" marking, it is marked "RB6Y2F". two piece, and the joint (ferrel??) is metal. the rod including cork look close to 100% new.
along with it is a pflueger "MEDALIST" reel with extra spool. the reel is marked "no. 1494" and "diamolite line guard" and "made in akron, ohio, USA".
if you are interested, make me an offer.
