Collector Notes: This custom-built casting rod combines a Fenwick SP84 yellow/gold blank with a Lew's Fuji Speed Fit pistol-grip handle marked U.S. Design Pat. 228759. Fenwick offered yellow rod blanks to custom rod builders during the 1970s, while Lew's/Fuji Speed Fit handles were period components designed for use with interchangeable/custom rod blanks. The combination of components and construction is consistent with a 1970s custom build. The individual rod builder is unknown.
