workaholic shooter Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys I have decided to sell my Hardy smuggler Fly fishing rod It is 9' 5" in length, with a 7-8 weight line rating. It is a 8 pce rod with a aluminium case tube coated in a very thick real leather. i have had the tip sections repaired at my local tackle shop, It cast perfectly and has caught me many good trout over the years. the laquer finnish is as new and rod and case in perfect working order order. It does come with the original cloth bag, it is not shown in picture as i have left it at home in my gun safe. I am looking for £300.00 posted.

billytheghillie Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 is that the plastic still on cork handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workaholic shooter Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yes the plastic is still on the handle, I thought it would give it more protection. Regards Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I notice the tip now has a spliced overfit and clearly dosent fit in the case, has this rod been snapped at the spigot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workaholic shooter Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes as I mentioned the tip has been repaired by my local tackle shop, it casts fine, I was going to get it repaired by hardy, but as always I never got around to it, and now that I don't fly fish anymore I have decided to sell it. I have however allowed a margin for the repair in my asking price. Last time I had this rod valued, it was around the £600.00 mark, the case alone is around £80.00. And this was as you see it in the picture. It does however fit in the case as the cap slides on quite away. Hope this helps Regards Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
