Hardy Marvel Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #4/5

Hardy Marvel Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #4/5A nice Hardy Marvel bamboo rod 7'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, marked for a #4 or #5 line though I think I might want to try it for a #3 as well. Serial #H62964. Weighs 2. 9 ounces. Used condition but full length and very good with no varnish issues. A slight amount of ridging from cleaning the grip. On the slow side of medium and full flexing. Ferrule fits are good and the varnish shows no signs of gumminess. The cane is a wheatstraw oven temper in a three up

and with a good ferrule fit
