Glass Rod Question

[John Gillio]

Do any of you glass guys know the make of this rod? I remember seeing adds for them yrs ago, but can’t remember the maker.

If you have an Android phone try doing a Google reverse image search.  I have an iPhone or I would do it for you.

If you would like, I can post those photos on the Glass Flyrod forums. They should be able to answer your questions. (Done)

My son searched it on his phone for you.  This is what it found:

First one that came up. Pretty cool huh? A little scary?

Mark, I was just going to post that two of the fellows at fiberglassflyrodders.com also think it is a Wonder Rod.  Didn't Mike G. say he owned a couple ?  Hope this helps.

The one in the ebay ad looks like dead ringer to me.

It does. There were two True Temper rods(Super Deluxe Custom Built and High Flyer) along with an unmarked rod and another Wonder Rod with a solid cream color to it. The unmarked rod and 2nd Wonder Rod were given to a friend. I may give these fiberglass rods some time on the water. Thank you both for the help.
