looks 70s - 80s fenwick but just a guess
Re: Mystery take down butt end
I would go with the older Fenwick ID also. You have the bait casting butt end and a ring type spinning butt end. I used to have a similar rod, mine was a threaded spinning and a threaded bait-casting rig. The ferule seen in the picture should have the business end or the rod bonded in place. As an FYI, when I was a teenager I had bought the rod at a thrift store in Bothell and was not overly impressed with it.

Thanks guys
I'm still looking no matches so far. Since Im close to some of the best custom rod builders in the NW I think Im going to have a 3 piece rod made with modern materials.
