#Hardy split cane rod serial numbers full

Rod has a brisk full bodied medium dry fly action. 6' cigar grip, nickel silver cap and ring over figured rather dark maple, Jim's die stamp in place on the lovely machined end cap, blonde cane, pale red agate stripper guide, forged winding check, and an absolutely beautiful finish a la Tom Maxwell - transparent tan silks neatly tipped crimson. Previously sold rod back to me in a welcome trade is this stunning rod from Jim Downes. After a long relationship with Jim, I only just noticed that all of his tips on every rod are bookmatched!! Something that T and T features as collector grade hallmarks, what Ron Kusse did always and what many other of the best builders in the country spout about!!! And for missing that, apologies Jim.ДҐ7. Very popular model.ДЄnticipate the arrival of another 7612, 7011, and 201 from Jim and will likely continue to stock all three in addition to any new tapers that he develops that I'm taken with. Working with Walt Carpenter in his early days, I believe Jim is among the most talented builders of our time.

The rod is perfect in every way - dead straight (of course), perfect ferrule fit, flawless varnish and ever so beautiful wraps. The rod enjoys a fabulous dry fly habit and may be the finest piece yet recieved from Jim for performance and finish. 6' flor quality cigar grip, cap and ring seat (die stamped with maker's mark) over tiger maple insert, blonde cane beautifully wrapped with avocado silks smartly and delicately tipped in a dark auburn, cocoa colored agate stripping guide blued ferrules and reel seat hardware.
