J Kennedy Fisher has been out of business for some time now but their rods were superb.  If you do in fact have one I bet there are a lot of guys trying to buy it from you.  They are a stiff rod but one of the best blanks out there.

I will try and find out more info for you.  Is it a 9' rod or a cut down 10' blank?

Right now there are only two guys that I would do wrapping for me and that is Kevin Bogan and Mike over at Grumpys Tackle.  Both have store fronts and I like that because you know they are going to put out a quality product because they have the most to loose.

Good Luck.

I can't tell you much about that specific model.  But, I built my 9' surf rod on a J K Fisher graphite blank. 
I made it close to twenty years ago and it's still one of my favorite rods! t^
