George Cook referred to the Accel as Mr. Wiggles if I remember correctly.

Yeah, It's the 12' 6" 7 weight Mr. Wiggles i have myself. It's a pretty fun slow action rod.

Thanks for all of your input.

Thanks for the list. I know why you want this list. It helps understand the vintage in the used market where I shop to save $. Someone suggested you go to a spey clave or rod show. They are not going to be selling used rods there. The greatest vintage was 2007, the all mighty Z-Axis. I just broke my 7 wt 13-6. Sage said can't be repaired. I should have asked for it back. There suggested replacement was sonic. No backbone compared to the Z.
Traded up to the R8. The Z was beautifully decorated. R8 not so much. The older one are fancier finishes.
