TT opinion:
Rare opportunity to purchase a piece of angling history, this Hardy Richard Walker Reservoir Superlite rod was given by Richard Walker to his late son Tim Walker in the early eighties. We bought this rod and two others from his widow, Lynn Walker, on the 30th July 2020 at her home in Biggleswade.

The rod is a well-used example, a 9,3″ two-piece brown hollow fibreglass. It looks like the tip section has been replaced as the silk shade is slightly out, either way, the ferrule fits together correctly as it should. Line rated #7/8 with a Garcia line label sticker above the original extension plug in handle included. Rod No E/Y. The rod is as we bought it, not cleaned or altered in any way, and comes with the Hardy original fitted cloth bag.

I spent a considerable amount of time with Lynn looking through other Walker memorabilia and having met Pat Walker in the past, it was a joy to meet more of the family members.
