I recently acquired a new 7"6' 5 weight in perfect never fished condition. It's not an old rod, but I know nothing about its origin. The only identifying marking is AMDG and what appears to be a painted feather. Any information about it gratefully accepted and a reel/line recommendation would be nice too! I plan to fish it a lot.
New rod, know nothing about it!

#2That feather is actually a Junglecock feather and there are more than a few rod builders that inlay them on their rods. All that I have seen were done on graphite rods. Can't help you with maker, just a tidbit.

#4Hi Guys, I'd say a recent maker. I'll go out on a limb with Golden Witch.....

#6The winding check and reel seat are both Golden Witch. I don't know how Russ marks his rods, so I can't it is actually one of his.
