Default Fly Rods UK ??

After moving to Kent from Yorkshire, have had to give up.
Have 2 rods, Hardy Jet #9 with screw in handle for light Salmon, and cloth
case, Mint
Hand built jobby #7 with cloth and hard case. Unused.
New bag, reel, FT lines braiding etc.

Not sure what to do with them ( no "sensible" suggestions please
) )

Anybody interested ??

What length is the #9, and does it include a reel?

#9 is 9ft 6ins hollow glass; it is a Hardy's from Alnwick in Northumbria UK
and has a screw in extra handle to lentghen and extend it for lite Salmon
fishing. In common with all my rods when it was bought new I bound each of
the ends by the ferrules ( split rod, 2 piece ), rings are lined and not
snake rings but the round type, have a new reel unused with lines backing
and headers. The rod is in mint condition and has only had lite use in the
rivers of the Yorkshire dales where average brown trout size is 1 lb to 1.5
lb with a few Grayling thrown in.
