Re: Ted Williams Fly Rod
After doing a bit of research, it seems Ted Williams lent his name to a wide variety of sporting products for Sears back in the day, up till the early 70s. Everything from monofilament line to recurve bows to gun cleaning kits. Most of Ted Williams model products are fishing gear, but varies from fly gear to saltwater spinning rods, So, its possible that Ted never had anything to do with the development with most of the stuff, unlike current trends in fly rods.

I found some of the same info on the net, but I also asked myself, why would a guy who was in his 60's twenty six years ago have a rod that he never used still in the case and decide to give it to me? He had the finest things when it came to hunting and fishing. Charles Daly shotguns, Browning, Remington, Winchesters. He was very into wade fishing and upland game bird hunting. A true outdoorsman. He was a stickler about his things. He was alos the one who taught me how to fish with the old Ambassador reels. Hell I was 12 years old wondering what the hell am I doing out here? Ahhhhh the good times. I'm gonna do some more research on this rod. The only thing on the shaft of it is the name and the number 92-2. None of which look like production run labeling.
