Thanks Harry, The Rod came with a aluminum tube case.The sticker on the tube has Sweetheart spinning rod by Wright & McGill Denver Colorado U.S.A.

Thanks for the repair ideas.I have that colo

Yes Mark, I would be interested in what you found. Here is my E-mail "[email protected]" This Hookhider product looks like another way to extend a blank by 5 inches. The owner Paul Reed was there showing how sensitive the rods were. Maybe to high modulas for pros.LOL Mike

Found this product at the Texas Bass Classic a week or so ago.looks like it will work nice.I bought three to try for myself. I did a search and found only two entries back in '02 .It is a handle kit with a built in place to slide your hooks up the handle.Works with no points exposed to catch in your carpet or snag other lines.

Steve, It was sounding to me like you my have built the grip on a Graphite tube then mounted it on the blank like you maybe would a reel seat.Were you extending the blank? How did you use the graphite tubing? Thanks, still gathering ideas. ME Tanner

I did mean production. I find ahold my not be a word according to ISPELL. LOL Thanks
