New to me Bamboo Rod

This is the board to ask about the identity, or for an appraisal, of a rod. Please use the outline as explained on the board. If there is a makers name, list that in the subject line. Make sure you include the length, number of sections, any identifying markings and the general condition. Adding photographs is always helpful!

Try posting in Appraisals and Identification for starters, then...
If the rod is in your hands, what information or more complete photos can you share? Length? Provenance?
From the information provided, about all that can be said is that it's some kind of bamboo fly rod.

Holy Water was a book written by Jerry Kustich (Sweetgrass/Winston rodmaker) I'm not sure there is a connection, but it might be worth reaching our to Jerry to inquire.

The label says it's a 7 1/2' rod...
Also, how was the 3/4 weight designation arrived at? Regards,
