Here´s a question for the Brits reading this forum:
I´m in need of a shorter double hander and I got an opportunity to buy a second hand, virtually mint condition Hardy Favourite 12.6 #9. Anyone who has any comments about this rod? I´d like to use both shooting heads (for tight spots) and the Windcutter Spey (where there´s room).
Does it have a "dated" feel to it or is it still a decent choice, regarding the enormous range of rods available today?
What about quality and reliability?
Can it also handle longer casts?
How much would a ten-year-old but nearly mint Favourite 12.6 cost in the UK?
Thanks in advance!
