Bougle MKVI Reels
The strength of the Bougle - apart from its looks - lies in its ability to protect tippets. The design is derived from the historic Hardy Perfect: the Bougle runs on ball-bearings which make it one of the smoothest winding reels ever constructed. The ventilated spool and the aluminium spindle both contribute to lightness and strength. The Bougle is characterised by the clear anodised aluminium finish and the striking ivorine handle. And of course by the sing-song notes of a fish taking line. Ventilated spool Aluminium spindle for smoothness, strength and durability Clear, anodised aluminium finish Beautiful Ivorine handle. Model

Marquis Reels
Since we stopped making the Marquis we have been inundated by requests for its reinstatement. So that's what we've done. This is a new Marquis salmon reel in sizes one, two and three, built to the original design. We've made the new reels and spools interchangeable with all the originals because we know exactly what happens. Over the years, a frame gets dropped, buckled or broken. You still have the spools and the lines that you love but without a new reel frame, they're useless. Not now. You're back in business. The new reels are all manufactured from high-grade aluminium with the polished silver rim style that everyone agrees is the Marquis at its best. This isn't quite the original Marquis though. Because we can't resist improving things we've slightly redesigned the internal cam to give an increased range to the click-check. Frame and spools fully interchangeable with the originals All-aluminium frame for strength Polished silver rim for classic look In three sizes to cover every salmon fishing situation Model

Performance ReelsZane Ti
Ti stands for titanium, the strongest non-ferrous metal known to man. That's why this reel is nearly indestructible. That's why it takes six continuous days of machining to make a single one. Unparalleled corrosion resistance makes this the ideal reel for saltwater, as titanium has the highest strength to weight ratio of any metal. In its pure form, titanium is as strong as steel but forty-five percent lighter. An extraordinary product from Hardy. Fully sealed multi-drag system Large, easy to use, central drag knob Machined from solid bar stock Titanium Hand finished and polished by our reel engineers in Alnwick Supplied in Classic horse shoe block leather case Model Capacity

Perfect Salmon Reels
Since the first Hardy Perfect reel was designed by Foster Hardy in the Alnwick Factory, Anglers around the globe have agreed that the Hardy Perfect reel is indeed the ultimate in Salmon Fly Reels. Many years have passed since Foster worked on his ‘apprentice' powered treadle lathe to produce the first ‘Perfect' reel, and countless reels of different designs have been sold by numerous fishing tackle companies, but none have stood the test of time like the Hardy Perfect. Although Foster's original design has undergone several design updates in the last 121 years, the sound principal which Foster originally patented in December 1888 still remains in the Salmon Perfect we are manufacturing in our Alnwick Factory today. The 2010 salmon Perfect takes the best features from the various designs over the years - check mechanism and dimensions from the 1921 Perfect, the 1972 reel back and a plate design which echoes that of 1912 Perfect. Combine these with Barstock Aluminium construction, 18 stainless steel ball bearing race, ivorine type handle and revolving line guard, and the fact that the Perfect reel design has been undergoing field testing since 1921 (dup. MkII version) and Charlie Norris, the Hardy Reel Designer, believes the Perfect we are launching for 2010 is possibly the best Hardy Perfect salmon reel hardy has ever made. Reel diameter - 4" and 41/4" Spool width - 1 11/32" Revolving line guide 18 steel ball bearing race Model

St George Hotspur Salmon Reels
The St George Salmon was first introduced in 1920, then, in 1921, the design was changed to incorporate the ‘silent wind in' action. The St George Salmon remained in production for 5 years and now, 90 years later, Hardy will once again be manufacturing St George Salmon reels, based on the original 1920 design, in it's Alnwick Factory. Hardy Reel Designer, Charlie Norris said; "The St George Salmon reels were incredibly advanced for their day. Using a mid arbour spool, these reels were also fitted as standard with such innovative features as a circular revolving line guard, twin handles and compensating check. "Today we have taken the same features and incorporated them into a fully bar stock version of the reel which is available with a mid arbour #9/10 spool and a standard arbour #11/12 spool." 6061 barstock aluminium construction Anodised for corrosion protection and scratch resistance Frame is common to both sizes therefore spools are interchangeable Revolving line guide Reel diameter - 4 ¼" Spool width - 1 5/16" Model
