    Default hardy fiberglass rods

    anybody have one or have tried one? i'm interested in one but would like to hear more about them.

    i'm not interested in comparisons to any other fiberglass rods or fiberglass rod builders.

    Default Hardy Glass

    I used to have a pre-JET hardy glass rod (still trying to figure out why I got rid of it)...anyway, one of the smoothest rods I've ever cast. Also, see JC's article on the Perfection.

    I am kind of curious as to why you're not open to any other glass rod?

    Norm,
    I have a Hardy Perfection Glass ... and it's the closest thing to perfect that I've ever cast/handled. Truly it is!

    is there a reason other than the "Hardy" part of it?

    the only reason I ask is that I've cast several other pretty damn smooth glass rods that that weren't Hardy's...in fact, IMO, better...this, of course, is comparing to the older Hardy's, not the Perfection.

    how about comparisons between the latest hardy fiberglass rods vs each of the following: steffen bros, mcfarland rods, t&t, scott, lamiglas, tl johnson etc
