Ferrule ID

[steeliefool]

Any one know this ferrule. From a mid grade?, swelled butt, calcutta cane baitcaster.

Hi Guys, Perhaps a picture of the whole rod would perk us up.

Sure, it's the top rod.

Chub trolling rod?

I know for sure who made it ;-) have a couple in the GTRS but after all of the snide shots to and at me from the OP why would I help?????

[steeliefool]

Kinda true so.........
Double dog dare yah to say

[Gnome]

and if you had subscribed to my documentary which you attacked me over multiple times squared you would already know.

[steeliefool]

I have no doubt at all that others will be helpful here but thanking you for your comments. Made me feel like a 10yo again!
I'm thinking Chubb as well.

And yet, you had to reply to the post and offer up your own snide comment. I don't see anywhere the OP requested your specific reply.

You mean, kinda like, dare I say it, the "disruption" you are causing on this topic? And it's persona non grata. Which doesn't apply to people who are kindly offering information back to the original question, which you didn't.

[steeliefool]

Hmm, so nobody other than our own Persona non Grata knows, supposedly, the maker here?
I'm surprised, although not so should some choose not to participate in what's become a mess.
Thanks anyway.

In the spirit of the season, maybe decades old perceived slights should be forgiven.

Agreed!
However, I'd rather have a confirmed maker ID assuming I have a choice

[steeliefool]

Hah!
The current "Leonards -- the first 60 years" thread in Collecting shows a Leonard with the same two ring standup guides as my rod here! Guess I got a Leonard "trolling" rod
Fitting some would think.

[bluesjay]

Hi Guys, I've never seen knurled ferrules on a Leonard, and it looks like a 'rolled welt.

[steeliefool]

JK boys!! I don't really think Leonard made unmarked rods!
Actually, Michael Sinclair's resto book shows them among the hardware pages but doesn't id maker. Also, I believe that the PNG's book shows a Chubb with same.
So used by multiple makers.
