A Hardy Wye Palakona cane 12’6 three-piece salmon fly rod with correct factory spare tip. Post numbered from the late 60’s or 70’s. it’s one of the best examples I’ve seen to date.Pale colour cane with correct whippings, red/tipped green. Copper whipped ferrules. Polished alloy and cork stoppers. 24” shaped cork handle, screw down alloy reel fitting, butt cap and black rubber half button. Line rated #9. This is the perfect rod to twin with a Hardy Perfect reel, others will fit including Marquis Salmon and St Andrew coming to mind as well as non Hardy models. The rod comes with its factory original bag. To have one of these rods built today you are looking at over £2000 with a long waiting time, 1-2 years.
