Hardy Ultralite Rods

[Guest Complete Fisher]

But is it?? If these rods had no identification on them could you really tell the difference between the modern cheap rod and the Hardys and Sages?

 

I have been using/evaluating, shall we say a well known make of rod for the last year, it's just gone on the market for around £250. Cost price around £30. Nice rod but!

I'm aware of the cost price of rods and £30 seems correct for the rod you describe.

 

But I believe that yes, you can tell the difference between a £50 rod and a £300 rod. BUT - you probably couldn't tell the difference between a £300 and £600 rod. There is a stage at which the difference is minimal - I'd suggest it's around £125-£150

No idea if it's still available but I just stumbled accross this http://www.daytickets.co.uk/buyandsell.htm whilst searching for something else and remembered this thread.

Hi,

I am new to this forum and saw that you were looking for an Ultralite.I realise you posted last October but I am considering selling mine if you or anyone else is interested. It is a 9'......no.6 line weight......two piece. In good condition with rod bag and blue aluminium rod tube.

 

Used only a handful of times as I usually take my travel rod to Scotland and rarely fish other than this.

 

I am based in London but can post.

 

I can also email photos if required.

 

Contact Duncan: 07980 740202 or duncan@dkillin.wanadoo.co.uk

 

Regards.
