Sold – Hardy Marksman 480-4 - ROD1217

The Hardy Marksman 480-4 provides the control required for delicate dry fly drifts and instant reaction to subtle rises on smaller water. This 8' 4-weight rod offers a refined recovery and lightweight feel that communicates line vibrations directly to the hand. Anglers can navigate tight casting windows with confidence while maintaining total command over the presentation on the water.

Hardy engineered this rod with high-modulus carbon fiber to create a blank that is exceptionally light and resilient. This construction ensures a smooth and versatile action that handles delicate short-range work while maintaining the ability to reach across larger pools with ease. The rod features a custom-designed reel seat and high-quality guides to ensure peak performance. These premium components improve efficiency and reduce casting fatigue during long sessions on the river.

This specific rod is in Like New condition and has never been fished. The factory plastic remains on the cork handle. This represents a rare opportunity to own a flagship Hardy rod in pristine state while realizing the value of a pre-owned price. Choosing this rod from Recast Fly Fishing supports a sustainable approach to the sport. It is an exceptional acquisition for any angler seeking a premium small-stream setup.
