HARDY REELS

ST. GEORGE FLY REELS

The most beloved light trout reels Hardy has ever made are back and are still made entirely in Alnwick, England on machines and kit that date back to 1912. These 6061 bar stock fly reels are the ultimate in a fine click and pawl reel.

The new St. George HOTSPUR Model revisits the early contracted spool models by offering a choice of two different spool configurations, both suited to Salmon Fishing requirements. The Mid Arbor model assures quicker line recovery akin to that provided by today's large arbor reels and the Standard Arbor model affords the anglers larger line size and backing capacities. BEST OF ALL the frame is common to BOTH SIZES and the spools interchange readily, so you can have ALL YOUR SALMON NEEDS met by a single reel with a single extra spool! This reel is beautifully finished in an anodized matte black finish for corrosion protection and scratch resistance. It is fitted with the famed Hardy all metal revolving line guide, has a spool width of 1-5/16" and an Ivorine Handle knob. Absolutely, a first-rate Spey Reel!

The St. George TROUT Model is available in two sizes and two finish colors. Fitted with a brass foot and an Agate line guide set in a Nickel Silver cage with an Ivorine handle knob. These reel have the traditional three-screw spool release cover and an excellent drag range as the original it so closely emulates. Add your choice of either a Black Finish OR the famed "Spitfire" Natural Aluminum finish made popular during WWII and your only dilemma remains which color to choose. These are the reels that your great grandchildren will fish, and thank you for them.

BOUGLE MK VII

Bougle Mk VI One of the most famous pools on one of the most famous salmon rivers, the Namsen in Norway, in part derives its name from the Bouglés. The pool is called the Music Box reputedly because of the number of big fish over the years running line off our singing Bouglé! Indeed, when you think about the Bouglé, it’s the glorious sound of the check that stays with you.

It’s a reel with voice. And when a big fish runs, it’s a reel that sings!

It’s easy to forget that the Bouglé Mk VI is derived from the older, equally classic Perfect. The Perfect ran on ball bearings which made it the smoothest winding reel of its time – yet time has in no way dated the muscular beauty of the Bouglé. This new Bouglé has been enhanced by the return of the reel to its original clear anodized aluminum finish. With its ivorine handle, the Bouglé does look at its very best in its sumptuous silver sheen. The ventilated spool and aluminum spindle both help with the reel’s lightness but doesn’t do anything to compromise its legendary strength. In short, it’s a reel you can trust and enjoy in equal measure.

CASCAPEDIA MK III

Another Hardy legend. Those looks. Who doesn't love that sweeping 'S' shaped handle? But the beauty is more than skin deep. The Cascapedia's durability is proven over decades of use. The capture of thousands of fish testify to this incredible reel's performance.

The Cascapedia Mk III is a stunning version of one of the classic reels of all time and resembles the original 1930's MKI Model more so than the MKII model it replaces, including the use of three Stainless Steel badges on the Solid Front handle plate, . as the original version. The reel retains its looks, its charm and its quality but it is brought so bang up to the minute that it will perfectly blend in with modern rods. What you’ve got here is a true fishing version of an ageless classic.

Available in four sizes, two trout and two salmon, the #2/3/4 and #5/6/7 versions boast a centralized click-check mechanism that famously protects the lightest tippets whilst the larger #8/9 and #10/11 feature a powerful clutch disc drag capable of stopping the largest salmon and designed for faultless big-fish handling. The drag regulator button also has a pointer for easy reference in the heat of battle. The anodized finish guarantees durability. Above all, the ‘S’ shaped handle is retained, the immediate emblem of this magnificent reel.

Hardy likes to think of their new Cascapedia as simple perfection. They've gone back to the original design using a traditional solid front plate adorned with 3 highly polished metal badges. The new reel much resembles the original 1930s model but has all the top features of a modern game reel. We defy you not to fall in love with the new Cascapedia Mk III. The new Cascapedia MkIII is a reel to collect, to look at, to treasure. But above all, it’s a reel for the modern day, to be used with pleasure, admiration and total confidence.

MARQUIS SALMON

Since Hardy stopped making the Marquis reel they were inundated with requests to reinstate it. So they did! This is a new Marquis reel built to the original design with one slight change. Hardy couldn't resist improving the reel , they've slightly redesigned the internal cam to give the click-check drag a greater range than before. Made in Salmon sizes #1, #2 and #3 and built to the original design, the best news is that these reels will accept your original extra spools. Hardy knows what happens; over the years a frame gets dropped, buckled or broken. You still have the spools and lines you love but without a new reel frame, they are useless. Not now. You are back in business. Made with the polished silver rim that everyone agrees is the Marquis at its best. Bigger drag range, a perfect palming rim and huge capacities, a Salmon angler's dream in three sizes to cover every Salmon situation including two-handed rod use.
