Heavy for sure but also a nice smooth even action to them. The older Hardy rods you really notice the smooth action when putting the balls to the fish. Not so much at all though when fighting smaller fish. The old fly rods are sweet feeling too as long as you use a smaller rod for the size fish your targeting so you can get to use the part of the rod that shines through which is when the rod really bends over on the fight.

Interesting perspectives. I bought one in about 1976 for about $75 and have used it for drift fishing rivers ever since. It is heavy compared to modern rods given it is made of fibreglass, but it has a certain soul that the lighter, newer rods can't duplicate. My buddies sneer at it and call it a "telephone pole". I love it......so much that I stripped it down to bare blank a couple years ago and completely rebuilt it.
And if anyone wants to sell one cheap I'm all in.

I could be wrong, but I thought 10 10 stood for 10ft. 10 weight. As in fly rod blank, just a fly blank tied into a moocher. Kinda like the old Fenwick 1262 and 1264, the 1262 was like a 10'6" 6 weight and the 1264 was like a 10'6" 8 weight. The 10 10 was THE thing to own to go along with a silex for Steelheaders in the 60's and 70's before graphite came out big time.
