What a pity that Hardy ceased manufacture of split cane rods shortly after Tom Moran’s death in May 2014. So ended a part of their history that had run almost continuously for well over a century. It would be appropriate to refer to these Hardy rods as ‘Moran era’ and they were, in my opinion, the best split cane rods made by Hardy since the 1930s.

My dads neighbour is in the middle of moving house and was going to bin a load of split cane rods but gave them to my dad to us to use instead. Now the other day he found this hardy rod and dropped it in. The date mark on the serial number seems to point to it being a 1943 model but the bags. Hi all, I have recently come into the possession of three vintage Hardy fly rods. Starting with the first; a split cane ‘Perfection’ Palakanar. Serial number A53694, 9ft 8inch length. A few questions; a) does anyone know much about this rod. B) if I fish with it, what line should I use? And c) it has a spare top section that is 4 inches.

This beautiful rod exhibits all of the best attributes of Tom Moran’s style. The attention to detail and elegance of its construction is phenomenal. To fish with, it is wonderfully smooth and well behaved. Accuracy and delicacy are assured but there is a considerable reserve of power that you’d expect from a true #5-weight. This is a quintessential split cane fly rod -a classic in every sense. I hate the idea that anyone should restrict themselves to just one fly rod, but if you had to, this one would serve you extremely well.

The arrow straight cane (as you’d expect from an unused rod) is full of vigour. Its pent up energy is tangible, urging you to take the rod out for a busy day on the river.

Specification.

Snake Brand black nickel coated guides and tip-tops, with a matching butt ring (stripping guide in the US. Both names are equally funny in an innocently puerile way). A genuine Moran-made hook keeper is whipped above the winding check (shoulder collar in the UK).

Whippings (wraps in the US) are transparent varnish impregnated Pearsall’s Gossamer silk with Moran style single strand accents (tippings in the UK). The № 1 tip has a green tipping to the tip-top whipping. The № 2 tip has a red tipping to the tip-top whipping.

The tailor made rod bag (sock in the US) has a Hardy Rod In Hand label and contains a stiffener to protect the tip sections.

The brass capped alloy tubed is both engraved and labelled with the classic Rod In Hand logo. The tube retains its original plastic wrapper.
