Hi,

Hope you lovely people can help me, I am just new here specifically to pick brains if you do not mind?

My uncle has been very poorly with several strokes and is now in a care home, his house is having to be emptied and we have found several items for fly fishing which must be sold.

Unfortunately he is in no state to really tell us what they are and their true value.

Can anyone give us any insight into these items, as we know nothing of them.

#7 Graphite Smuggler De-Luxe 8 piece rod
The House of Hardy Made in England
Pat.No. 1.429.309
9'5" 287 cm
FT55074
All pieces have a little no 2 on the ends
Comes in a cloth bag with a section for each piece and Hardy's stamp on it in gold.
Looks in mint condition doubt it has been used that much.

Sage Graphite 111
Line #5
Length 10'0" 3 3/8oz
Model GFL 5100-3 RPL
With metal case with all the above written on end cap, and a black sage cloth case
3 piece
Purchased in Australia only been used once

Any ideas? Also have a whole bag of reels that I will have to get the information off if you guys wouldn't mind assisting that would be amazing, I may learn something along the way too

The Smuggler should have a a tube also, possibly leather. Approximately £300 - £400 if you can find the tube. The RPL, maybe £200 - £300.

Thanks, the smuggler doesn't have a leather tube, was in a black plastic one.
Will have a check and see if can find the leather one anywhere.
