Harrods of London fly rod
Posted: Sun May 06, 2018 12:05 pm
Would anyone have information as to whether Hardy made rods branded for Harrods ?
I bought a little 7ft brook fly rod this morning . The butt is engraved Harrods Ltd London W and carries the serial number 1265 .
It is a delicate little thing ,sadly it looks to have lost some of the tip and the tip is also soft , the butt ring is also missing.
The reason for asking about the Hardy connection is because the lovely old chap selling it felt this was the case .
The tip eye is a wonderful little thing and the guides quite unusual too.
