About Hardy & Palakona:
Hardy’s Palakona split cane rods represent a pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, with the “Wye” series named after one of the UK’s most iconic salmon rivers. The Palakona process—developed by Hardy in the late 1800s—involved kiln-dried, laminated bamboo to create strong, resilient, and beautifully finished rods. These rods are still celebrated for their smooth casting action, precise build, and enduring elegance.

A fine example of Hardy’s legacy in salmon rod design—ideal for fishing or collecting.
