Spin Gem

[OldAngler]

I have an 8ft spinning rod for refurbishing, the 'Spin Gem'
Can anyone identify it? Photos of the name and badly degraded logo enclosed.
A friend thinks that Hardy used the 'Gem' name at one stage.
It does not have the classic Hardy butt cap.

Many thanks, Old Angler

Constable of Bromley. Look in the traditional cane rods section under that maker. The Spin Gem 8' is listed in the history and models post.

Hardy most certainly used the name Gem, at least for a small fly reel, one of which I own.
Don't know about any other items

Ain't the Forum wonderful.
