Hi, new subscriber here in search of expert advice.
My uncle gave me this Hardy bamboo flyrod shortly before he passed away in 1992. I have not used it in fact I have not fly fished for some time and need to unload some of my equipment. Like many I have more rods and reel than I can ever use.
My uncle had not fished for some time either before he gave it to me, he lost his legs to diabetes, so i have no idea of the age or where he got it although he loved to accumulate fishing gear.
It is an 81/2"- 2 piece with original aluminum case and rod sack. The winding look excellent but I noticed it might need some refinishing on the varnish. I am no expert on bamboo. It has a #9616 also after the original customers name say 81/2' no1. I have attached photos and need the assistance of experience people knowledgeable about Hardy fly rods.
I loaded the photos on my website to make it easier to view the photos and the price of $1,000 means nothing, I just stuck a value in. The website has to have a price to load and I did not want to cause confusion by listing $10.
I would appreciate your assistance, Thanks
