Made by Van Meter Rod Co.

7', 4/2 Special 4 piece pack rod with an extra tip. Two different line weight tips (line weight 4 and 5). Cigar cork grip. Down-locking black aluminum reel seat. Wright & McGill nickel silver ferrules. Gold thread wraps tipped in brown.  Includes original cloth bag. Fred DeBell sold his tackle shop located at 38th and Tenneson Street in Denver, Colorado several times, as early as 1948. He sold and  bought it back several times until finally selling it to Bob and Betty Malara in 1977.  We believe Van Meter owned the shop in the early 1970's. It is difficult to ascertain the  exact date when Van Meter purchased Debell's rod company  Since he owned the shop for only a short period to time, he built few rods. This rod would make an excellent addition to a Colorado-built bamboo rod collector. The rod is in excellent restored condition. sold
