About this rod
🎣 ITEM
Vintage Hardy Matchmaker 13ft Glass Fibre Float Fishing Rod **REPLACEMENT TIP RING**
✅ DESCRIPTION
A classic vintage Hardy Matchmaker 13ft float fishing rod, constructed from glass fibre and supplied in its original Hardy cloth rod bag.
A proper piece of traditional British match fishing tackle, the Matchmaker is a lovely rod for river trotting and general float fishing, as well as being an increasingly collectable Hardy model.
The rod is in used preloved condition with honest signs of age and use throughout.
The rod remains original with the exception of the tip ring, which has been replaced at some point during its life. Other than this replacement tip ring, there are no breaks or repairs and the remainder of the rod appears original.
A cracking usable vintage Hardy rod with plenty of character.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
