this could be scary

i was given a few "old rods " from a friend of dads yesterday
an old diawa spinning rod with the biggest rings i have ever seen

another smaller spinnging rod, bit rusty etc
and a milbro float rod

but the find of the bunch is a hardy 9ft weighted 6 rod
cant see any other markings on rod
looks in pristine condition

not sure if its worth evilbaying or buying a reel now
(know if i keep will cost me loads)

Hardy fly rods are top kit mate. The old cane ones are very sought after. Whats it made from?
