Hardys Rod
Question
I have inherited a Hardy's rod from my grandfathers estate. I have consulted a work college who has some knowledge about the Hardy's fishing gear but he can't recall reading or seeing this particular one. It is a 'Neo Cane' Mallard. with a serial # N.E. 5651. It is a two piece rod in good condition but has had a professional repair done towards the tip. It comes complete with the original cloth cover. Please let me know if you have any information about this rod... Many thanks...
Answer
Grant,
I am more knowledgeable about bass fishing tackle. There is a very good website for fishing rods that can point you in the right direction. I am not sure if your rod is a flyrod, fly rods are the most desireable to collectors, particularly custom American rods.

They also will provide appraisals if you load quality photos.
