Description

A superb example of Hardy’s innovation in graphite rod design, the “Graphite Smuggler De-Luxe” 9’5″ #7 is a high-performance multi-section travel rod, ideal for trout and light salmon work. Combining portability with Hardy’s renowned craftsmanship, this model has long been favoured by anglers seeking quality without compromise.

This rod is in very good condition for its age, featuring a smooth cork handle and alloy down-locking reel fittings. It is fitted with a Fuji stripper guide and snake rings throughout, expertly finished with claret and scarlet silk whippings that highlight its classic character.

Supplied with the original Hardy leather rod tube, which also remains in good condition, this is an excellent example of a timeless and collectible rod that remains highly fishable.
