The actual made-up length is 9'2'' and although the top section is several inches shorter than the butt, there are no signs of the top section having been shortened from either end, the tip being as fine as any I have seen. The bronzed Hardy "lockfast" splint-end suction ferrule is a good fit with no knocks, The Hardy agate lined butt & end guides and "bridge" intermediates are in good conditionĪnd have no cracks or grooves.

Interesting that a rod made inĮngland for a Norwegian retailer should end up back in England! Complete with traditional ferrule stoppers and partitioned cloth bag with embroidered badge and hanging loop. I would guess that it would throw a #4 or 5 modern line but a traditional silk line (or modern equivalent) would slip through the relatively small tip rings more easily. Whippings are brown silk and mostly in good order although the new owner might like to apply another coat of varnish.Ī nice lively rod in good useable condition.
