I’m trying to find out when the Hardy Wanless rods were produced.
The links on here to the information for production dates of Hardy rods are now dead.
Does anyone know?
Thanks

They were also used for ""Upstream Worming and Bait Fishing"" at 10ft - either 2 or 3 sections. I have one - an ultralight!

The 1934 catalogue has a letter dated 1932 from Wanless himself explaining how he would use them.

Many of the Hardy catalogues are available to view at 'splitcaneinfo.com'.
