Hardy Rogue River Fly Rod 9'6" 3/2 #7 7 Weight The western-style grip is composedA scarce Hardy Palakona "The Rogue River" bamboo fly rod, 9'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for what reels to me like a #7 or possibly even an #8. Serial #H16350 stamped into the barrel of the reel seat, dating the rod to 1958. Excellent original condition and the rod is nice and straight. The only issues I could find are that the agate stripping guide is loose in the wraps and should be attended to, and there is a little fading to the bluing on the tip
