YEP DUANE the process is about the same except now the tips are solid glass. Years ago they were still hollow. Actually the new ugly sticks should be more durable, but they are now made in china. Old wonderods were made in Kalamazoo Mich.
NEver had a new one or an old one for that matter break on me.

HEY DUANE,
The wonderods were made by Shakespeare Tackle . They were revolutionary in materials and construction.
THey had a patented process called the Howald process named after Dr. Howald and it was a two layer fiberglass . The inside layer of millions of fibers were layed out length wise then a spiral buch of fibers wound around the outside full lenth. They were then and still are amazingly strong. Almost indestructable.
The HOwald process was invented shortly after WW 2. Around 1946 if I'm not mistaken. THey were made up till the 70's . THey were made in many different colors and ttttttttttttttttttttthousands of patterns to cover almost any fishing situation.
Acutally the wonderod replaced the old solid steel rods, solid glass rods, and eventually Bamboo as the number one seller of rods world wide. This all changed with the advent of Graphite of course. THere are still alot of us old glass rod users out there, but like me an OLD GEZZER we are a dying breed.
Hope I helped answer some of your questions . I can supply lots of information!
