Made in Japan after WWII. They were more like souvenirs, rather than good fishing tools. Many servicemen came home with them after the war. Little value, unless it belonged to one of your relatives.

Your forum has helped me. I believe I have a 6 part Japanese Combination rod?

Thanks!

Not Japanese. It's an American made, round lancewood bait casting rod. The handle is distinctive and known by others here as to maker. Nice early rod.

Correct, NOT Japanese on this one. It was built by Montague somewhere between the mid 1920's and the early 1930's, based on the reel seat hardware and the use of lancewood and spiked ferrules.

It's not a combination rod, but a trunk rod or pack rod.
