I have 3 rods like yours in variuos lengths. They are used for trolling leaded line and pop gear. They were Grandpa's and we used them quite a bit back in the late 60's early 70's. I have 2 rods that are about a foot to 18" longer and not quite as stiff. I have one about the same as yours and I remember it was a bit to stiff, hard to tell when a fish strikes unless it was a big one. One of mine is a Shakespere and the other 2 are not marked. Grandpa bought these rods in about '68 and I'm going to hang on to mine (memories). Hope this helps.
