Harnell

[sharkman]

I have a couple harnells in my arsenal and love the action, but they are extremely hard to find. Any recommendations on other rods that will have similar action that are easier to obtain and less expensive.

Harrington sold more blanks off his mandrels than he built rods, so I'd look for tackle with upscale guides, seats, etc
that give you the action, speed etc. that you like in your Harnell labeled rods.  I've run across suspect tackle that needed  varying degrees of love to get back into the action that have made me very happy on the water.  They often come in lot deals from Grandpa's garage on Marketplace or Craigs.
