Hexagenia limbata

The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

A telephone pole? A vaulting pole? A flag pole? Obviously not a FISHING ROD.

It could be a non-production rod from a small company that may not be well known or they have gone out of business. It may even be a custom rod from an individual builder

hey, Iliketofish,

Google Kunnan Rod. you'll come across some discussion of this brand by saltwater spin fishers. It's old, so you won't find spare parts or repairs, but some folk seem to like them. your particular model wasn't mentioned on the one page i checked

They aren't fly rods, so on this forum you won't find much interest. hope this was helpful to you.

Hi Mark-

We have a common bond. I too like to fish. Here is a thread on RodBuilding.org which discusses Kunnan rods.
Best regards,

Hi Mark

Thanks for the post, nothing like a new fishing rod or poll.
You can dream all winter of the huge fish your going to catch.

Have a short winter

They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax.
