I've been offered a Hardy Marquis 7 ft #3 2 piece fly rod with a Hardy Flyweight reel with new Lazer WF floating line. I'm not sure how old the rod and reel is but both are in mint condition.

He is asking £300 for the lot. Is this good value?

Regards,

Ray.

It's not the best deal I've seen IMO. The reels make about 140 on the bay providing it is made in Alnwick, later ones are made abroad and don't make as much. Not sure about the rod I'd think around 150 is about right. So 290...because you are buying the two then a further discount is in order. 200-250 is where I'd want to be.
