Trailmaster No4TMU

Question
When my uncle died I received this rod "Trailmaster" 7 1/2FT. No.4TMU.  I know nothing about this rod. I was wondering what the history and price was on it.. To know if it is a keeper or something that could be thrown out.

Answer
Hello

I suspect your rod is either Wright and McGill or Eagle Claw rod. These run $10 to $40 depending on condition.

Also, they make nice fishing rods to use (since they are not super valuable) - so if you have a friend or relative that fishes...nice christmas present.
