Mojo: What a beautiful glass rod and reel! That was a big score, congrats again and what a great idea to give it to Joni! With all those brownie points, you shouldn't have any honey-do list items for at least six months! LOL!:D

I think it's a trick gentlemen, he is just saying he gave it to Joni so he doesn't have to let us borrow it.:D

Congratulations Mojo: Nice to know that we had a small part in helping a fellow forum member.

Hi Everyone,

I have a Hardy 7' 3wt feather weight that looks a lot like this rod. But it doesn't have the same reel seat hardware as this rod. I have not seen a set up like this rod before. Has anyone else see this set up before on a Hardy?

Frank



My reel seat looks like this picture.

Just to refresh everyones memory, and to the new members- this is the Hardy fiberglass rod that you guys and gals help me win in The Fiberglass Manifesto blog photo contest this past February. It finally got here (communications mix up).
Thanks to all that voted for me, thanks to Cameron Mortensen from TFM and to Jim Murphy from Hardy.
Fiberglass rod with 10% graphite in the butt section.
Frank, this is the same reel seat that I've seen on old Hardy bamboo rods. It's a classic look. The LRH is mine from long ago.
