Description

This Hardy “J.J.H. Triumph” 8’9″ #6 split cane fly rod is a beautifully crafted example of traditional British rod making. In very good condition, it shows only light signs of use, and remains full length, perfectly straight, and structurally sound with tight suction ferrule joints.

It features a smooth cork handle, knurled alloy down-locking reel fitting, agate butt and tip rings, and snake rings throughout, all whipped in deep burgundy silk with red tipping—a striking and elegant finish that speaks to Hardy’s attention to detail.

Supplied with its original Hardy cloth rod bag, which is in good condition (please note the press stud is missing).

About the J.J.H. Triumph Model:
The “J.J.H. Triumph” was Hardy’s tribute to J.J. Hardy himself—co-founder of the company and one of the most influential figures in the history of fly fishing. Built with a medium to crisp action, this rod balances power with grace, making it ideal for dry fly or light nymph work on larger rivers or stillwaters. It’s the kind of rod that feels alive in the hand—responsive, elegant, and full of character.

Whether you’re casting on a quiet chalk stream or adding to a collection of classic cane, this is a rod that deserves to be fished, admired, and passed down.
