I have my brothers searching for David Hill. The son of Lee Hill who made many custom Harrington's here in corpus back in the 60's and 70's. Description of yours matches the description of my dad's from 1966 that Lee Hill helped him with. They caught many a ling from the south Port A jetties back in the day. I do mean many. My brother still has the rod.

Anyone know David Lee Hill? I believe he still lives in Corpus. He could confirm if this was one of his dad's creations or not.
