Thanks for the history lesson.

now that is a cool story. thanks for sharing it. they world we live in is so screwed up right now its refreshing to read something like that.

Agreed it certainly was a simpler time in those days

Awesome man!

Interesting to say the least , held a steel rod one time , might have actually owned it …can’t remember, it was one of those bait caster style rods and not tubular as my mind remembers .
Nonetheless that’s a cool rod and cool story too , does what I read about it make it around a hundred years old ?

From what I have read it makes it somewhere close in that timeline. I am also not certain but from the handle design. It appears to be able to be removed from the rod and configured to be a fly rod as well. Would be a beast to fly cast with

The old timers were inventive working with what they had. Some of those old Sunday “blue laws” were pretty interesting. PA was pretty restrictive until late in the 60s or so.

Love those steel rods. That's definitely a step back in time. Always fun catching them on the vintage gear. Congrats.
