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

Hardy Marvel Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #4A Hardy Palakona The Marvel bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4. The rod weighs 3 ounces on my scale. Good used condition. Very slow full flexing action. Some soiling to the grip and a bit of cracking to the mid ferrule wrap. No problems with varnish. More or less a 3 up node spacing. Wheat straw color cane. Green main wraps with orange edges. Clear agate stripper, chrome snakes. The step style ferrules are oxidized and come with

stainless pillars

The diameter is 3 1/2" with a spool width of 7/8"

spinning the spool against the fixed cork)

with just a few very light cosmetic traces of use but exceptionally clean overall

Comes in a black vinyl hardy pouch

built for what feels to me like a #8 or a #9

There are a few tiny handling marks on the rims (very minor) though I see nothing to indicate that it has been fished

Original bag with mint tag & tube

High arch high-speed steel snake guides

Ebonite handle with a ribbed brass foot

The action is medium-fast with of course the well-known parabolic taper

The rod remains in excellent+ condition
