Hi, i need help in identifying a hardy fly rod. It is 3 piece , possibly with a second shorter top piece. Main rod is whipped in burgundy, alternate top piece in burgundy changing to bottle green. Fitting is aluminium on a black tube numbered e21560. With a scre removable aluminium collar at the bottom. Top and bottom ringa are agate lined, rest just plain loop.
Any help in identifying the model greatly received.

Re: Hardy fly rod identification.
e21560 = 1931
The second shorter top is probably why good fly rods always came with a spare tip!
Is it all split bamboo?
Total length assembled?
May be able to narrow it down to one of half a dozen possibles, but someone will likely recognise it from a picture.

Hi yes it is all split cane , middle section , has been damaged and repaired at some time, but seems strong, was covered in some horrible whipping. I will measure overall length and get some pictures.
Thx

Re: Hardy fly rod identification.
Hi rod is just under 109" long so i guess if ferules were pushed home it might shrink to 9'

Re: Hardy fly rod identification.
Well that cuts down the possibilities dramatically!
J.J. Hardy No.1 Dry Fly (9') - probably has their special "lockfast" ferrules - a spiral locking mechanism.

Do we have a winner?
