This top end match rod by Hardy has never been used and still has the plastic wrap on the handle! A light and crisp float rod, ideal for stillwaters and with its hollow tip a great trotting rod for a winter Grayling too! No bag or tube with this one, these almost never come up for sale - especially in this condition!
Hardy say:
Hardy Marksman XT Float Rod, Hardy's launch back into coarse fishing with Marksman rods has been a huge success and resulted in an even more diverse range of anglers buying into the brand than expected. One of the most popular rods in the Marksman range has been the 12ft and 13ft Specialist Float, which has the most forgiving anti-lock action imaginable, combined with superbly crisp casting and striking power. Hardy have taken this format a step further with an even more responsive and equally forgiving 2-piece 11ft 10 inch Specialist Float rod, which once again has one of the best anti-lock actions ever made! This lightweight rod has many uses, from trotting small rivers for dace, Grayling and chub, to fishing light to medium waggler tackle on shallow lakes. It will also slot in perfectly on canals and drains, along with more fined float fishing tactics on commercial fisheries. This shorter float rod is the perfect choice when light lines and small hooks are required to tempt bites. The Hardy Marksman Float makes you want to go fishing the instant you pick it up, and weighing a featherweight you'll hardly notice you're holding anything, even when using the rod all day!
