I have this bamboo fishing rod that I think my father bought at a yard sale. I believe it is a convertible rod, which can be used as a fly rod or spinning rod. It has five sections, including two identical fly rod tips and a spinning rod-type tip section. It seems to be in pretty good shape. There are a few Japanese characters on it, but no other identification (unfortunately I don't read Japanese). In case anyone can identify this, here are a couple of pictures (provided I have figured out how to work the photo attachment process):
By the way, I have done some fishing with this thing. I tried a 4 weight line, which seemed a little light. So I tried a 6 weight line which seemed a little heavy. I do not have a 5 weight line, so that's probably the correct one (of course I'm not a great caster so take it for what it's worth).
