Hardy Performance Rods

Angel 2 TE$1150.00 – $1350.00The Angel TE's legendary qualities have also been enhanced by new research and design. It is still one of the world’s fastest fly rods, that responds brilliantly to a short, controlled casting stroke. The tip of the TE follows your hand as though you had hold of the line itself. The Angel TE blank tracks, dampens and recovers in unique style. And this gives you unparalleled accuracy—even at thirty yards.

Angel 2$995.00 – $1250.00The Angel 2 typifies the Hardy evolutionary principle. It is built with all the strengths of the original Angel, yet we've managed to improve it through continual research and design. It is still the ultimate rod for the serious and accomplished angler. And it still has the fast, crisp action that can significantly increase your casting range, accuracy and presentation. And what's more, the Angels are still made in Alnwick, England. Still an Angel. Only better.

Angel 2 Double Handed$1795.00 - $2100.00Improving the original Angel proved to be difficult and only came about after years of steady, evolutionary research. The improved rod is constructed using a new lay up of various multi modulus materials—eight in all. The effect is to take every attribute of the original Angel and move it to another level. We see this as an important advance in one of the great salmon rod ranges of the world.

Zane Saltwater$499.00 – $649.00All Zane rods are nine foot long and in four sections—specifically designed for boat and flats work and the travelling angler. Models start at a six weight and run to a twelve weight with a fighting grip. A perfect range for everything from light bonefish to the biggest tarpon, sailfish, giant trevally and even shark. Zane rods are also ideal for heavy freshwater action—especially pike, where the backbone of the Zane can put out a big fly into a strong wind with consummate ease.

Marksman River Fly Rod$525.00 – $649.00The Marksman is the ultimate rod for running water. It combines perfectly with light lines to give constant control in tight, demanding situations. Fast to medium recovery blanks allow tight loops and the essential casting accuracy that stream or river fishing requires. The superb Marksman action cushions light tippets yet gives plenty of power when needed. This is our favourite solution to challenging rivers. Ultra-smooth, medium fast blanks for great short to mid-range line control.

Swift MKII$499.00 – $679.00The Swift Mark II is the ideal rod for those who fish on large stillwaters and reservoirs. The firm, powerful action throws a tight and controlled loop. Roll casts are effortless and the Swift's fish playing qualities are faultless. The eight-foot, four and five-weights have proved a great success on the riverbank, with the power to throw big flies—especially mayflies—with complete accuracy. The speed of the rod also makes it ideal for the nymph fisher.

Swift MKII Double Handed$749.00 – $949.00Many experts rate this the best double-hander on the market. It's unsurpassed for casting, but is a very forgiving, easy to use fishing rod. The action is powerful but smooth - a great Spey caster and a magnificent big fish rod. Very durable, versatile and ideal for harsh conditions and biting winds. The rod is built on a fast-taper mandrel to produce a quick action, with high modulus carbon making the rod stiffer, lighter and with superb dampening qualities.

Demon$395.00 – $575.00The Demon brings Hardy performance, durability and build quality to anglers at a surprisingly low price. The Demon is user-friendly and will help you cast whatever your style of fishing - and we've added all the little extras you'd expect with a Hardy rod. The Demon has a completely anodised, double uplocking reel fitting, with nylon 'O' rings for smooth operation. And it balances perfectly with the new Demon reel. The Demon looks great too. The colour changes from slate to olive as the rod moves in the light. Fuji butt guides. Hard chrome snake intermediates. Top quality Portuguese cork grips. And all in a strong Cordura carrying tube.

Uniqua$249.00 – $449.00Looking at the Hardy Uniqua rod range will tell you that there is a rod to suit every need of a fly fisher. Pick up the perfectly balanced brook rods of 7'6'' or 8' and you can instantly imagine yourself placing that perfect cast to the fish of a lifetime on the smallest of overgrown streams. Conversely pick a Uniqua 10' #8 off the rack, and you could be battling with 20lb sea trout on a windswept Argentinian river. Whatever the job, whatever the location, make it a Uniqua adventure.

Uniqua Double Handed$549.00 – $649.00The 30/40 tonne carbon mix allows the rods in this range to load deeply and quickly and gives them a very fast recovery rate. These qualities produce an action that is easy to master and yet gives genuine high performance on the river. A further result is the Uniquas are supremely capable with every design of line. Hard lined Fuji guides, scintillating dark pine coloured blanks, four-piece construction and a carry tube complete this sophisticated package.
