To my eyes - it looks like "Stourdale" which I have not heard of before.

I think it says " This rod belongs to Jeremy Croxall, please return to it's rightful owner"

It's a lovely rod isn't it I haven't found any evidence of a stourdale being made?
Hopefully someone can shed some light on it.

That's a new one on me too....very desirable with its whole cane butt and it looks as though the tip isn't too light....just imaging the taper along....a chub or barbel rod??

Another rod maker made a similar rod - called The Stour at 11ft 6 - but I am not sure who. Priory?
Any ideas Nobby?

I have never heard of this one either. There are some less well known Aspindales rods made for Salmon or Sea Trout fishing so it may be one of those. A full length view of the handle will sometimes confirm its intended use.
A nice looking rod though and as Nobby has pointed out it looks quite powerful.
