Hoagy Carmichael Graphite Spey Rod 16' 3/1 #10

Hoagy Carmichael Graphite Spey Rod 16' 3/1 #10Here we have a 160 double handed graphite Spey rod made by Hoagy Carmichael from a Sage blank. He fished it on the Gaula in Norway, and the Grand Cascapedia in Canada. He made all of the locking reel seat hardware, with a walnut spacer, which has the threaded Delrin insert in the locking nut for a smooth and solid grip on the reel tang. It has a nice agate striping guide on the butt section as well. Hoagy reports that this rod will unload a #10 DTF

Very good condition with no chips or cracks in the hard rubber

Straw-colored blonde cane with olive wraps and Chinese red tipping

Still a very nice and tight Dingley Perfect trout reel that should see many more years on the stream

Robichaud reels had a fairly short production run so are pretty hard to come by but they are a great lightweight classic reel perfect for pairing with bamboo rods

Excellent used condition with some tarnish on the rims
