The Marksman rods and centre pins. Sanderson, John Bailey and Dave Coster established the Hardy Coarse Academy and between them specified rods for the range.
The range included float rods, Avon rods, quiver tip rods and an Ultra Light Bomb rod. All were made from high modulus carbon and featured the Anti-lock system which meant that a rod under load transferred power into the fighting curve, rather than “bottoming out” too quickly. Whatever the jargon, all the rods proved to be strong, resilient and yet sensitive. Each rod model came in either the Specimen or Specialist form. The former was a slightly beefed-up version of the standard Specialist, designed to give more power without sacrificing feel.
