WTB 10 foot trolling rod, something nicer and unusual

[Olde School]

I finally bit the bullet and picked up a Hardy Longstone, brand new but old so got a good price.
The problem is that now I need a rod for it.

We currently run Shimano Techniums in 10'6" TC4 construction in the medium heavy - and love the way they feel, especially with a 5" Peetz.
I am thinking of putting the Longstone on one of the Techniums, but the idea of something a bit unusual interests me. For example a Klee Wyck or a Peetz?
Do you have a rod along those lines that you aren't using and thinking of selling?

Thank you.

Olde School.

If you want something different, I have a 10 foot nine weight Sage saltwater fly rod which was custom built by the best rod builder around these part, Andy Sneddon. this rod has never been used but I have used the identical rod as a mooching rod in the past as well as a downrigger rod (with a detachable butt extension) for winter springs.

Nice, a Hardy Longstone! Beauty reel for sure!! Did you buy the one i just sold? Hope you did Olde School. Did you come down to Vic from Nanaimo on Sunday and pick it up off my wife while i was out fishing? I have another mounted on a 10 1/2 ft Lamiglass that is also old but in great shape! Awesome set-up, don't use it all the time as i don't want to put to much wear on it.

wildthing: where would I look for a Hardy moocher?
jimbob: you have my attention, pls pm me your location
Bag-Juan: you are my seller! Man, the Malahat sucks.

hardy moochers are hard to come by ive seen a couple pop up on craigslist I bought my dad a fully restored moocher from a fellow near capilano

10' moochers are hard to find especially in good condition
but are around
certain collectors do jump on them quite quickly so
one that needs a rebuild may be your best option
very nice slow glass action
the 10'-10" are out there as well but the 10' is the one to go for
