Just looking to get some more information about this fly rod I picked up at an estate sale.  I've done some research online but haven't quite found anything specific and detailed.  It is a 6 sided 4 piece (two tip) bamboo rod.  Each piece is 37".  9.25' put together.  It has the logo NFT on it (the only markings I could find).  The wooden box and bag are quite ratty but the rod itself looks to be in really good condition.

Answer
Dawn,
Your rod is Japanese. I know because of the cheap box and cheap rod components.
I have found others  with companu names I was able to trace.
Originally sold by the thousands to GIs in a light long box with lures and huge flies from 1946 to the 70s . Mostly considered trinkets by collectors but memorial to GIs , they have little resale or fishing value. I have never seen any written history on them in English except the following. http://www.maxrod.net/article/
There is  a book  on Goggle books, with a little history  and a  limited preview: Bamboo In Japan by Nancy Moore Bess
They are probably not even made from Tonkin cane like most vintage bamboo fly rods .
I have cast several and they are terrible fishing tools.

Luck,
Mac
