Just wondering if anyone has heard of rods made by Dave Bell from Tomorrow River Rod and Reel. My uncle gave me a rod made by him that looks brand new. Says it's for muskies and for tossing bucktails, vintage makes it look like it's from the 80's. I googled him and didn't have much/any success . Thanks for any information.

Looks like an old Graph-Lite fiberglass blank, made in the mid to late 80's. Got any specs on her?

No, the rod doesn't say anything other than what the picture shows. It's 6' long. I guess my main concern is if the rod is usable or not. I would like to (but don't need to) use it but I don't want it breaking and putting a fish or me in jeopardy of getting wrecked.

this may not be any help but i remember my neighbor has a five six or six foot yellow blank eagle claw (pretty sure it was eagle claw) musky rod that looks almost exactly like that from approx the same time period. i doubt you'll break it those fiberglass rods can take a beating but at the same time you probably got longer rods with better backbone so there is really no point to using it probably. It is a beauty though
