After a lifetime of chasing trout across rivers and lakes, it’s time to let go of some of my personal fly fishing gear. I’ve come to realise there are a few beautiful rods I simply won’t use again — and they deserve to be on the water, not on the shelf.
I’m starting with a real gem: Used
Hardy Graphite Smuggler 9'5" 7wt – 8-Piece Travel Rod
Complete with its original leather tube and in excellent condition.
This was one of my trusted travel rods — built like a tank, but smooth as silk.

Tight lines,
