HARDY Graphite Carbon Rod c/m 7 feet 6 inches 229cm #3/4 Purchased about 30 years ago. The action is typical of Hardy rods, not too stiff or too soft, and easy to cast. This rod did not originally come with an aluminum rod case, but I purchased one soon after from Inagaki, the Hardy distributor at the time. There is a scratch on the underside of the reel seat's reel pocket. See photo 13. The rod has some dirt from use on the grip. The rod case was usually kept in a plastic bag, but it has some scratches and the mark has faded. See photo 14. There may be unnoticed scratches, so please check the photos. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. Please check the photos and consider. Please purchase with no returns and no claims. Thank you.
