Hardy Allround

[Dokterhoo]

Hi,
Here are the relevent pages from my Hardy Bottom Tackle catalogues for your perusal that may be of assistance to members.
The catalogues I have are:
c. 1933 (Undated but has references to 1931 so 1932 earliest, 1934 latest)
1935 Dated
1939 Dated
1950 Dated
1953 Dated
1955 Dated
c.1960 (Undated but has reference to early Paraglas rods and "The Carp" cane rod, so my best guess 1958-62)
1955 and 1960 contain no reference to an All Round Rod.

Thank-you for taking the trouble with that lot! What strange expressions " balance strong" and " ordinary" are...even as late as 1950 they still used that confusing title.

I have a Wallis Allround, not sure I could land a 10 Ib Sea Trout with it though

Thank you for pointing that out! -- --- Never ever noticed!

These details, like mine, came from :-
"Canerods" -- Classic Fly Rod Forum -- Hardy "G" serial numbers -- posted on the 02/01/09

"G" numbers starting in 1927.
