Russ Peak

I don't think Russ made spinning rods in anything but glass, and his 4 piece rods were graphite.

Might be noteworthy to mention that Kerry Burkheimer apprenticed with Russ.
When Russ passed, Kerry acquired (some or all, I don't know) his inventory. He can build you a rod on one of Russ's blanks or he could in the past.
Fortunate for me, I have one of Russ's builds and one of Kerry's on a Peak blank.

I saw your post about Russ Peak's assistant and thought I would ask if you know Robert Moore who another fisherman told me he built rods in Pasadena with him. I don't know much about fiberglass rods but he paid $200 for it from Moore. No markings on it though. It has no marks but the case has a model number305475 serial # 20467
It is beautiful 64" but trying to find out more. Hoping someone knows Moore made rods.
