Does anyone here have information on who or how many who's made rods for Bronson?
Did they utilize the "Trade Rod" pool of Rod Makers?
Or
Do people find a Bronson Reel on a Rod and assume the rod is also Bronson because there is no identification on the rod?

Re: Bronson Rods
The only company I know of that supplied Bronson with rods was Actionrod. These were only for the Bronson reel/rod "combo" series (Professional, Visu-Pak, Huck Finn, etc.) Bronson never sold individual rods, at least prior to 1968. When Actionrod (Orchard Industries) and Bronson merged with the True Temper Corp., there might have been some rods that were branded "Bronson", but I don't remember ever seeing one. They wouldn't be true Bronson rods anyway, IMO.
