Question
What can you tell me about a Wright& McGill "sweetheart" 7ft MA2L
a friend asked me if I knew anything about it. I make fly rods and he tought tha I may know. I don't. Your help will be geratly appreciated. Thank You Jim

Answer
Hi James,

Sorry I don't know much either.  Joe Douglas on this site is the rd expert.  If you can post this to him he can help.  I do know that they were a fiberglass rod if I remember correctly.  Probably worth $40-$60 if it's in good shape.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
