Your FY-170 question sounds familiar. I think I answered it for you on some other board. Paveglass is correct about the date of the rod. Unfortunately, the pricing is not available as Shakespeare stopped putting the prices in the catalogs in the seventies.

As far as color goes, many Wonderods were white, but that was not the only color. There were also rods in yellow, tan, ivory, green, etc.

Hope this helps. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (gaddis) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4919 Thu, 15 Dec 2005 09:41:14 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/reply/4917/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html#reply-4917

I think it is an "newer" rod. The labling is painted(?) into the finish (no stickers). It is an Action Taper, FY 170 8wt DEE. It has US and Canadian patent numbers.

I am very interested in any info you or anyone else can give me.

Again, Thanks!!! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BassYakker) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4918 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 20:36:31 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/reply/4915/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html#reply-4915

The older Wonderods were built on yellow blanks. You might want to check to see if yours says "Pat Pending" on the label--if so it was made before they got the patent in 1952 for the fiberglass rod manufacturing technique that Shakespeare still uses today. There will also be a model number like 1270T or 1380B and a three letter code that says when it was manufactured, such as FBF. These are probably stamped into the reel seat hardware or rings... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (paveglass) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4914 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 18:27:02 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/reply/4913/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html#reply-4913 :o :o :lol ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BassYakker) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4913 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 14:31:02 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/reply/4912/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html#reply-4912

Can anyone ever have too many fly rods? I tell my wife that they are tools. And each tool has a specifc purpose. She doesn't buy that of course. But for me, I like using glass for some applications and graphite for others. Now I have two glass rods and keep telling myself that I don't need anymore.

It's no disadvantage that its very, very difficult to break a glass rod, too. They will flex to maximum curve and then just hold together... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Cornmuse) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4909 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 07:23:59 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/reply/4908/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html#reply-4908

Sounds like someone looked into the future and thought of me when they built the first glass rod. I should have more of these in the arsenal!

"More than any other material it (fiberglass) will excuse our neglect, disregard our carelessness, forgive our abuses and reward us with long and trustworthy service. Fiberglass is a warm water fly rodder's best friend."

-Tom Nixon

Not to mention, it is not as expensive as graphite...well, at least until now. feeds@yuku.com (BassYakker) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4903 Sun, 06 Nov 2005 16:45:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/reply/4902/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html#reply-4902 feeds@yuku.com (Flytackle) http://www.thebasspond.com/sreply/4902 Sun, 06 Nov 2005 06:25:05 GMT <![CDATA[ fiberglass fly rods ]]> http://www.thebasspond.com/topic/1163/t/fiberglass-fly-rods.html
