For sale here is a rare W.E. Edwards & Son "Quadrate" 7' 2/1 bamboo spinning rod for lures roughly in the 1/4 - 1/2 oz. range. Model no. 400. The rod is in excellent original condition though unfortunately, there is minor bag-burn throughout the rod. Both sections are full length and straight. The tip section is 2 1/2" longer than the butt section, staggered ferrule style.
Beautifully tempered cane with bronze wraps and double bands of gold tipping. The classic Edwards script remains clean and bold. Handsome bakelite winding check. The grip is 12 1/2" in length with only the lightest soiling. The reel seat is quite unique and consists of two sliding bands over an aluminum band that applies outward pressure. A seemingly more secure method opposed to the traditional dual sliding bands usually seen on spinning rods. The seat also remains in excellent condition void of scratches or dents. Bakelite butt cap with light wear. The ferrules fit nicely. The rod weighs 4.90 oz.
Includes original satin-like bag and tube with the label 98% remaining. Don't miss out on this great little spinning rod ready and waiting to sling a lure up under that dock you've been eyeing.
