Description
This is a classic early Hardy Gordon “Matchquest” 14ft coarse/match rod, produced in Alnwick, England, likely dating from the late 1960s to early 1970s. The olive green blank with crimson whippings, sliding alloy reel fittings, and Hardy Gordons badge are all characteristic of the period. It appears to be a 4-piece fibreglass match/float rod supplied in the original cloth bag. Condition looks very good overall for age: Original bag present Ferrules appear clean and full length Whippings largely intact Cork handle clean with light use Some cosmetic marks/scuffs to blank
