Does anyone know if Sam ever made a bamboo under the "Mt. Carmel" name? 8 foot, probably a 5 weight.

In George Blacks book "Casting A Spell" he mentions being at a show with Sam and finding a rod signed by Sam priced pretty stiff . Sam told him it was an Edwards blank he signed as practice while working in the Edwards shop . He said that was all he did to the rod so it was in no way a Carlson . No idea who actually built it . Not saying that's what this is . What does the rest of the signature say ?

I'd ask Dana Gray .
Wore out old rod junkie , WILL WORK FOR RODS .
