Component Details

Fly Rod:

In the fluid environment that we ply our craft, the demands are ever changing. Few days truly hit the mark to be deemed "perfect" although it can be argued that any day spent by water is perfect enough. When we fish, the demands we place on little more than a couple of ounces of carbon fibre are considerable, we expect featherlight touch and feel in close, backbone enough to drive a long, fast and accurate loop but with the durability to fight and land that fish of the day, season or even a lifetime. The new Hardy Marksman has been designed, developed and tested with this incredibly varied challenge in mind. A strong, yet considerably lighter blank has been matched with an all new reel seat that further accentuates the weight reduction and promotes an almost weightless in hand feel. Fitted with titanium guides and dressed in a subtle non-flash golden olive, its understated looks hide a capability that needs to be experienced. Designed and developed in Alnwick England during Hardy's 150th year our new flagship rod "The Marksman" truly hits the mark to be deemed "perfect".

Fly Reel:

The core of the Hardy performance reel range, Averon delivers the quality and reliability that are the hallmarks of the Hardy brand. Its lightweight yet durable design has been carefully crafted to blend performance, fishability, and long term reliability into a stylish large arbour design. Size dependent the reels benefit from both open or closed frame designs. Open frame is utilised on sizes where weight reduction and rapid spool changes are essential and a closed frame is employed on both the 5000 EN and 9000 models where thin running lines or specialist euronymph lines may be used. For over 150 years Hardy has been at the forefront of reel design and this newest addition is built to the same exacting standards and passion for innovation.
