Hardy Rod
#1I recently located a nice 8'6" Hardy rod, serial number 98xx, and inscribed "Jon Tarantino." I know that Jon (World Casting Champion) designed tapers and worked on ferrules from his operation in San Francisco, but this is the first bamboo rod like this that I have seen. The blank is fairly dark in color and wrapped maroon. Does anyone here have any history and can estimate ti's value? Thanks

#2You really need some photos and the Appraisal section would be a better spot for this inquiry.

#4Long ago I saw one Tarantino bamboo Hardy. As I recall, it was a fairly fast taper. I don't think there were many of them. No idea as to value. Jim Adams might know.
