I was looking through and old Hardy Catalogue last night and wondered if anyone had tried this?

Now that's what I call a rod set.

I always had an opinion about Hardy rod actions, but up until now I thought it was just me.

I'd like to walk into a bamboo rod shop with a rod looking like that wrapped up in paper, and ask the owner to get the "set" out, then watch the
expression on his face when I put that rod down on the counter. I'd bet his eyes would pop out of his head
 on stems.....

Reminds me of the old ads for the Shakespeare "Ugly Stick" rods showing how they would bend without breaking, but they couldn't match that
Palakona noodle.

That must be the only rod in the world that you could cast a wind knot into the tip section!
