Several people have asked me to post the dimensions of the Hardy "Marvel"
rod.  Hardy listed this rod at 2 3/4 oz. and advertised it as the worlds
lightest practical fishing rod.  The rod has a very light full, flexing
action.  I used a #4 line on mine.
I first measured this rod in 1980 over varnish.  A year later I bought the
rod, stripped it, and remeasured over the cane.  The forms I was using in
those days were 6" centres, before the Garrison book popularized 5"
centres.  Here are the dimensions.
