Hardy Marvel (New), 7 ft. 6 in., 2/3, 4 wt, aluminum slide band over cork spacer, darkgreen silk wraps tipped in gold, bright guides and tip tops, oxidized nickel silver ferrules, wood and cork ferrule plug, agate stripper guide, hook keeper, comes with bag and aluminum tube, brand new. This rod has long been considered the best rod Hardy ever made for the American market, it has a medium to slow action for delicate midge work but with plenty of backbone for throwing longer lines, this rod had been made continuously for nearly 50 years until about 10 years ago. About a year ago a few of the Hardy people came to me to discuss how they wanted to get their bamboo shop going again and that they were bringing in Tom Moran to help get it setup. They wanted someone to commit an order so they could get started and said they would make any of their past models for us if we'd give them an order. We have the first five rods in now and they are beautiful.
