By Appointment to
H.R.H The Prince of Wales Suppliers of Fishing Tackle and Waterproof Clothing Farlows Group Ltd. London
Based in Alnwick, England, Hardy has been handcrafting innovative fly fishing tackle and gear since it was founded in 1872 and is still widely recognised as producing some of the finest fly rods and reels in the world.
One of our customers' favourite brands, Hardy is for those who require the best, and won‘t settle for anything less!
This rod offers the perfect blend of balance, power and recovery resulting in user-friendly casting performance and true “fishability”.
The Hardy Aydon range of fly lightweight fly rods have been designed and manufactured with Hardy’s SINTRIX material and are fitted with top quality hardware and purposefully designed reel seats. From the 7ft single hander to the 14ft double hander, each Aydon model is perfectly tailored to meet your expectations and offers sizes to cover everything from small trout streams to big salmon rivers.
A lightweight disc drag fly reel in its purest form, the Ultradisc UDLA features everything you need, and nothing you don‘t. With an innovative frame design it sets new standards in lightweight performance reels while allowing the use of ultra–thin fly lines and running lines as well as leader-only systems popular in modern river fishing.
The scaled multi-pad drag is also unregulated, meaning fine adjustment of the drag pressure over a large window is possible. Little wonder it was voted best in category at IGFA 2020, it's a reel gamechanger!
Hardy celebrates its 150th anniversary and the brand continues to push the boundaries of fly fishing tackle innovation to this day. Find out more in this video and shop their limited edition reel
Small things make a big difference.
All carbon fly rods utilise fibres that are bonded together by an adhesive resin. The resin material used in SINTRIX® is produced by 3M®, a unique material incorporating silica nano spheres which provide a matrix of strength throughout the rod and make it capable of resisting pressure and compression from any angle. Put simply, SINTRIX® rods are stronger.
In developing SINTRIX® Hardy‘s specialist engineers and rod designers spent over two years experimenting with different mixes of carbon fibres combined with varying levels of nano silica resin. The results were astonishing with up to 60% increases in strength and up to 30% savings in weight and Hardy now offers varying levels of SINTRIX® technology across their entire rod range, each level bringing significant benefits over traditional carbon fibre construction.
