Lorney,

You didn't say if you were looking for a good rod or a cheap price. No sarcasm intended The reason I say this is you can buy a new ECHO or TFO or several others for under $300.

What I have to offer is a brand new Hardy 11 weight as an option. The rod is the Hardy Proaxis Sintrix 9' 4pc. and is light as a feather with all it's new Nano technology. It's only been cast at the park a couple of times by a very old man but never used.

The rod originally sold for almost $700.00 a year ago. He'd like to get $350.00

Lorney,

Look closely at the Hardy rod Tony has. It retails $720. It feels like an 8wt. I have had my wallet out a couple of times in Tony's living but didn't pill the trigger, because of the need/want factor (according to my better half!). Besides a few of us handling it, there has never been a reel on it.

I can personally vouch for quality dealings with Tony. He sold me a 12wt Sage xi2 that had never been used for a terrific price. He's a great guy to deal with and very fair in his dealings.

Tony - did you ever get chance to go out for brown trout like we talked about last fall?

I have two 12 wts I built from blanks that I bought from Larry at Chico Fly Shop about 8 years ago. I made them to take to the Seychelles. They worked perfectly for that fishing - even the massive GT that spooled me and is probably still swimming around with my entire fly line trailing behind. They're dark green blanks with old Powell style reel seats with detachable extendable fighting butts (screw in). If you want something a little cheaper than Tony's Hardy (which is an excellent deal) let me know and I'll shoot some photos and see what we can work out.

Thanks for the offer Tony. I already have a bunch of 12wt lines for the trip so was looking for a rod to match.

Geez, thanks for the support guys. :) No, I haven't gotten around to chasin' those browns yet. I haven't forgotten about them either.
