Hardy Classic Rods

 


  

Classic Lightweight

$375.99 -  $475.00

Our Classic range draws its inspiration from our past, but by utilising every trick of modern technology we have made every item in it totally compatible with the future. Reels like the Cascapedia, the Bougle or the Lightweight might well have been in manufacture for decades but constant modifications have made sure their performance is everything anyone would expect in 2009. The new Classic Lightweight and Glass rod ranges owe a lot to past designs, but are perfected through modern technological processes to meet the demands and expectations of modern fishermen. These new Lightweight rods are at the core of the Classic range. Great to look at with traditional fittings and cosmetics, they also load well and give a smooth, accurate delivery. The slightly reduced resin content in the tip speeds recovery and gives a rod that crispness river anglers especially need for tight controlled casting.

  • Four models in the range
  • Classic good looks, traditional design, modern performance
  • Hardy's patented, traditionally styled universal reel holder
  • Easy loading action and smooth power delivery
  • Low resin content in the tip of the rod for increased recovery rate
  • Rods match the Lightweight reel range
  • Complete with tube and canvas carry bag

Glass Rods

$325.00 – $425.00

Glass reinvented? Are we talking 2009 or 1969? Let Product Manager, Howard Croston, explain. "Glass fibre has been largely ignored over the past twenty years in favour of lighter and faster carbon fibres. It's true that carbon is a superior material for lots of rod construction purposes, but not all. Adding glass to the mix gives a rod incredible durability and resistance to impact—making it ideal for the toughest fishing on backcountry rivers and streams." By mixing glass to carbon we have achieved an easy loading, smooth action, with controlled, well-dampened recovery. The easy loading nature of these rods makes them sensational. They allow short range, controlled presentation with the absolute minimum of fly line beyond the tip ring. For the light, stream angler working in the tightest situations, Hardy Glass is the perfect choice.

  • Rods are made from 10% carbon and 90% glass fibre
  • Easy loading, durable blank for toughness
  • Lightweight blanks and sliding reel fitting
  • Tapered cork handle with classic styling
  • Alloy tube and canvas cover
