Description

In very good condition. This Hardy 16′ #11 “Favourite” graphite double-handed salmon fly rod has been very well looked after and correctly stored. It remains in excellent order throughout, with a clean, smooth cork handle, tight ferrules, and original finish intact.

A powerful rod for serious salmon fishing, it features an up-locking knurled alloy reel fitting, a Fuji butt and tip rings, with snake rings throughout, all whipped in distinctive purple silk. The action is progressive yet authoritative—ideal for Spey casting on larger rivers with #11 lines or shooting head systems.
