I just received a Hardy Graphite Smuggler 7 piece fly rod, serial number CG41794. Based on the CG in the serial number I believe it was manufactured in March 1984. It looks like it has been fished at most only a handful of times, i.e., only slight discoloration on the cork reel seat and no signs of paraffin on the ferrules.

My question is: Using modern weight forward floating fly line what weight line is this rod designed to use? It looks to be either 3 weight or 4 weight. Also, what would be a good fly reel to match up with this rod? Any information you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
