Cascapedia MkIII$395.95 – $549.95At Hardy, we like to think of our new Cascapedia as simple perfection. We’ve gone back to the original design using a traditional solid front plate adorned with 3 highly polished metal badges. The new reel 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. In weights of 2/3/4, 5/6/7, 8/9 and 10/11.
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. There's a Cascapedia for every fishing situation. The smaller sized models have a centralised click-check braking system which famously protects the lightest tippets. The eight/nine weight reels and upwards are braked by a one-way steel clutch, designed for faultless big fish handling.

Marquis$299.95 – $325.95Since 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.

Bouglé MkVII$425.00 – $599.00The 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.

Lightweight’s249.95 – $279.95The Lightweight Series reels are simply gems of simplicity. They have been on the market now for a shade less than half a century and during that time they have sold huge numbers worldwide. And they’re still selling. You just can’t improve on their simplicity and their classic design. They were designed to be the perfect reel on small waters and they remain leaders in that role. We’ve hardly changed anything on the reel because we haven’t needed to. The models made in the 1950s were as near perfection as you can get and they’ve never really been bettered.

This additional size to the current range has been requested by markets across the globe who already love the Flyweight, Featherweight and LRH Lightweight.
