I was recently given a 9ft 3pc split bamboo fly rod. It is marked, Cook's Tarryall Trademark 2510". I cannot find any info on this rod, and would
really appreciate knowing more about the maker and vintage. Thanks, Bob

Dave Cooks was a sporting goods store based in Denver and the Tarryall name is in reference to waters up in South park near to the South Platte; I.E. Tarryall
resevoir.
a little more for you to go on. Please post pictures of the rod and we will be able to provide more info. Jeff |

This is probably a Fred DeBell rod. Fred made lots and lots of rods for Cooks and Garts (both were big Denver sporting goods dealers.)
At one time, Fred's contract with Cook was so bad that the more rods he made the more money he lost. Not a whiz kid at business, but made some nice, very fishable rods. |

From the 1939 Dave Cook's fishing catalog pg 42:" 'Tarryall' 8 1/2', 9' or 9 1/2', 4 7/8oz, 5 1/2oz or 6oz, 3/2 agate guide on
butt section, browntone bamboo, 4 steel snake guides on each section, cloth bag, 1 tip 'cystal agatine, 1 tip metal top, wrapped in 6 contrasting
colors". Oh yeah, priced at only $4.95!! This certainly could be an early Fred DeBell rod.
