Hardy "10 10" mooching rod

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.
Nope the 10' 10" was a purpose built mooching rod by

Nope, the 10' 10" was a purpose built mooching rod by Hardy specifically for BC fishermen. The Campbell river guides preferred them for power mooching with 8-12oz weights. The Rod's length is 10' 10" long.
 
Hey T, was the Moocher, with green wraps, 10'10'' ? Always thought it was 10' ... I used one with a modified handle ( w fitting and ring) on the Vedder for years. Great float rod back in the day.
As I recall the Hardy 10 10 had red wraps, and was a club.

the one with green wraps was the 10' Hardy moocher.
you are right the 10' 10" had red wraps and is more of a Thompson River rod and has a sliding reel seat.
