Wanted The Educated Rod

[Lakertaker187]

Looking for "the educated rod" it's a rod made back in the 40's from Trumansburg NY. It's a small 2 foot setup I have pics but unable to upload. Could send pics over the phone. Shoot me a pm any info would be great! Thank you

It's made for trolling. Leadcore, copper, wire whatever you want. I was looking to purchase one. Any help would be great. Thanks

I picked up the educated rod this week at a auction, thought it was a fishing rod, but one guy said it was used to fish wire in walls??? I just thought it was really cool looking & planned on hanging in our den with other antique fishing stuff I have. I could pass it on to you, cause my wife hates it, but I'd have to get $75.
