Down't know anything about that spinner model, but they used to be the rod of choice years ago for all of the saltwater fishermen in So Cal.  I still have a Truline #36 that has been rewrapped twice.  Great tuna ,sea bass, yellowtail rod.  Good luck with it.

Hello, I've been up in NorCal for 2 years, moved up from SoCal , this is the first time I have heard the word truline! Well, I have collected trulines since I was a kid, and was a known truline collector b4, anyways, the lw rods came as a blank 7'5" and was made into several lengths. 7'5", 7'0", or 6'6".  Usually they stuck a large marlin casting tip on them for casting live bait to marlin, etc.. Large ring tip for the Bimini knots but some were made for reg use too.  Depending on the mandrel and where the guy decided to cut the blank to the sizes, the rod either fished roughly 12-40 max for live bait. Usually with trulines the longer the rod the higher the value.  The 8 foot , 8'5, 8'9, even some 9'6" one piece rods. 6.5 to 7 foot rods need to be beefy for high value and action, also kind of glass too I.e. phenalic..fiberglass which ranged in color from green, black to red, dark and light brown.  Even a time when it was blue which is the rarest. Your rods value at the most might be $60.  Good luck. Since I've moved up here life is different, have 2small kids now. Minor accident to one eye from a gas powered hedge pole trimmer has unfortunately changed my life a little as well as having to move up here after being born and raised in SoCal for 40 years going fishing on the ocean 4-10 times a month. Just started kayak fishing up here for therapy. Hope the info helps.
