    Hey guys, I received a 9ft 2 pc 5/6Wt Fisher GT 40 from my wife's family. It belonged to her father. I got an awsome Okuma reel to go on it. Now I am trying to find out some info on it before taking it to the waters, but that is where the problem begins. all I can find is the 4pc and 6pc models.
    Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    from fly anglers online .
    J.Kennedy Fisher rods were first headquartered in Los Angeles. The Fisher brothers, led by Joe Fisher, chief designer of their fly rods moved the company to Reno, Nevada in the early 1980s. The Fisher Company supplied fiberglas and graphite tubing to the aerospace industry, thus became very good at working with these materials. They built great glass rod blanks for Winston, Scott and Scientific Anglers (to name a few). Fisher designed the first spigot ferrules which are still used today by many rod manufacturers. Fisher made the transition to graphite in the early 1970s with the Fisher "Original" series. Later they added the GT40 series and eventually the Presidential series.
    The Fishers were great rod designers and builders but not really into marketing their products. They got out of the business in the mid to late 1990s I believe. I still own a 7-foot 4-weight, 2-section glass Fisher and a 7-1/2-foot, 4-piece 5-weight model, also glass. They are incredibly sweet casters for short to mid-range work. I still use them from time to time on spring creeks.
    Good Fishing,
    Les

    Well, I guess I will be giving it a whip in the next few months. Waters need to come down some and are still letting off snowmelt form the high areas.
