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. 425. Oddly, the rod measures out to 7'1". The rod is in good original condition though the rod does exhibit light wear from use and time. Both sections are full length with a set in the tip.
Beautifully tempered cane with bronze wraps. The wrap varnish is a bit dry in places with small cracks though this does not affect the performance of the rod. The classic white turned yellow Edwards script remains clean and bold. Handsome bakelite winding check. The grip is 13" in length with a few marks from a reel seat. Dual aluminum sliding band reel seat with a bakelite butt cap. The nickel silver ferrules fit together nicely. The rod weighs 4.55 oz. This is a terrific spinning rod for trout, smallmouth, and panfish.
Includes original bag and original tube with label. Unfortunately, the cap has been lost. Don't miss out on this great little spinning rod ready and waiting to sling a lure up under that dock or branch you've been eyeing.
