The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Good evening all, am looking at the following rod on ebay, described as "Hardy Palakona split cane trout fly rod for refurbishment or decoration, rod No.7296B, c1916, originally 12’ -3 piece, the middle and tip sections are now shorter but still very fishable."

Any help appreciated

It's a salmon fly rod, I don't think we are allowed to mention items on there :-(

Thank you, although the description ays fly rod, the rings make it look like a spinning rod, which would be perfect!

i don;t thick its all one rod ,the butt section has what appears too be a twist lock ferrule (female with spiral track) although in similar coloured threads the mid section has a male twist lock at the bottom joint and standard ferrules (not twist lock) at the top joint and the tip is not only a different coloured whippings ,its a bit of a miss mash.it may of had the mid section cut down so a replacement tip could be used hence the mixed ferrules used and differing top joint.i think its a bit expensive for what it is.as a possible project rod ,the option would be to equal the lengths and shorten the butt section to match the others ,this would reduce the rod to around 10ft-10.6ft it would work as a spinning rod ,but i think better candidates at cheaper costs would be better starting point .it'd work but the action might be a bit heavier than expected.
