It's not a bad jigging/skinning rod for the Ditch either, especially for fishing in tight quarters at high tide. Years ago, most of the sharpies jigged or skinned with that rod.

Hesh, Jean Harrington has been quietly turning out rod blanks on her late husband's mandrels since he died, and he never stopped making rod blanks even after he sold the Harnell (short for "Harrington and Renell") name to South Bend. The rods were sold for years under the "Harrington" label, but within the past couple of years, she re-acquired the rights to the Harnell name, and new blanks now carry the Harnell label again.
