While I haven't checked the serial number, this is a guess based on vague memory: it's a Smuggler Deluxe from the 1990s, number 6, 8 feet 2.5 inches, 250 centimeters, 7-piece. The Smuggler is well-regarded among Hardy's many models, but this Smuggler Deluxe isn't the fast-action type of today; it has a soft touch reminiscent of old-style Hardy parabolic action glass rods. Therefore, the line designation is #6, but I would use a #5, and possibly even a #4. It's a rod with an action that allows you to cast by letting the line ride the flex of the soft rod. The rod has nylon on the grip, but it has been used, so there are scratches. Also, due to poor storage, the leather case has faded areas and a mottled pattern, and the brass fittings are rusty. There are some fine scratches on the blanks, but overall they are in very good condition and not severe enough to affect use. The cloth bag feels a bit worn, perhaps because it has been stored for a long time, but the leather case is in good condition except for the mottled pattern and rusty fittings. The rod weighs about 71 grams, which is light enough, and combined with the soft rod touch, it's a very easy rod to swing. The carefully finished spigot ferrules are in good condition, and there are no functional problems. It fits snugly in the leather case, which is less than 43 centimeters long, and I think it's a gem that will satisfy your desire to own it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Due to work, shipping may be delayed by a couple of days, but thank you for your understanding. Features... Pack rod/Multi-piece rod Fishing type... Lure Fish species...
