THE PERFECT    

The reel that needs no introduction, the reel that is perhaps the most famous product ever to leave the factory at Alnwick.  a timeless design utilizing the most modern technology and made once again in Alnwick, England - The Perfect really does typify all that is Hardy.

The high quality Agate Line Guard, the dovetailed reel fitting, the durable gun metal gray, anodized finish with distinctive Ivorine handle all make this one of history's most strikingly recognizable reels.  And how well it fishes - fifteen stainless steel ball-bearings give the smoothest of winds. The adjustable click-check in the two larger models and the fixed click-check in the smallest have protected the lightest tippets for decades.  Perfect really does mean perfect.

All models available in left or right hand wind - you must specify.  Supplied in a soft sheepskin lined leather pouch.  Three sizes for every trout fishing situation.  Top quality Aluminum, Navel Brass spin on the plate.  Agate line guard, fifteen ball-bearings and time proven check systems for silky control.

Bougle Mk VI

 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 II

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 II is a stunning lightweight version of one of the classic reels of all time. 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 matt black side plates give a high tech sleek appearance that is perfectly complemented by the rims, which are hand-polished to a mirror-like finish. Above all, the ‘S’ shaped handle is retained, the immediate emblem of this magnificent reel.

The new Cascapedia MkII 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 and admiration.

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 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.
