Possible Blank Match for Old Trailmaster Fly Rod?

Does anyone know of possible matches of fly rod blanks to mimic an old school 60's Wright & Mcgill Trailmaster fly rod? Can not seem to find anything, BUT there is always someone who has more insight.

Much appreciated!

Are you talking about the Trailmaster with the reversible butt/grip? It reverses from fly to spinning configuration. If so, it is fiber glass.

Anglers Roost a sponsor on the left has some fiberglass blanks that are very close in color, but much lighter then the old blanks.

Those came in two different colors. The older ones were the natural brown glass while the later ones were more yellow. I think I've got one of the old brown ones kicking are undo or maybe an old wright and McGill rod that could be converted.

Its a customer who contacted me about repairing/refurbishing it as a section was smashed in a truck door. He sent me a picture and it is Brown and obviously fiberglass. From the pictures I cant tell if it was a reversible fly to spinning. I will for sure check out Anglers Roost! Thanks for the heads up! It is much appreciated.
