Does anyone know of possible matches of fly rod blanks to mimic an old school 60's Wright & Mcgill Trailmaster fly rod? Can not seem to find anything, BUT there is always someone who has more insight.
Much appreciated! BLAIR M. Re: Possible Blank Match for Old Trailmaster Fly Rod?

Are you talking about the Trailmaster with the reversible butt/grip? It reverses from fly to spinning configuration. If so, it is fiber glass.
Anglers Roost a sponsor on the left has some fiberglass blanks that are very close in color, but much lighter then the old blanks. Re: Possible Blank Match for Old Trailmaster Fly Rod?

Those came in two different colors. The older ones were the natural brown glass while the later ones were more yellow. I think I've got one of the old brown ones kicking are undo or maybe an old wright and McGill rod that could be converted. Re: Possible Blank Match for Old Trailmaster Fly Rod?

Its a customer who contacted me about repairing/refurbishing it as a section was smashed in a truck door. He sent me a picture and it is Brown and obviously fiberglass. From the pictures I cant tell if it was a reversible fly to spinning. I will for sure check out Anglers Roost! Thanks for the heads up! It is much appreciated.
