The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Hello all,
Please could someone recommend a real to suit a Hardy LRH 1,that will be used for Carp fishing.
Many thanks,
Mark

Why not go for a Hardy Altex No3, that would be a lovely period traditional Hardy set up, and more than capable carp outfit, a good user no3 can be found for £100-150

Thanks Paul, I will have a look at one of these!

Not quite as old but the ABU 66 or 77 are a very happy match, good clutch and spool capacity.

My fixed spool choice is the same as Dave's.

Or a centrepin - Aerial Popular 4in - when stalking.

A good choice would be a centre pin….a Hardy Conquest or similar. I have used a Hardy Spinning rod for stalking carp and found them to be better than the Mark IV’s which seem to me to have too soft an action.
Mike.

Thank you for all your replies Gents !
