Hardy Brothers 150th Anniversary Reel
When we looked through Hardy’s history to find the best tackle to commemorate our 150th anniversary, it was quickly agreed that the Lightweight series in the 1970 edition was the correct choice to reissue. A series that is a true Hardy original, and also price accessible, ensures the broadest participation in our celebration of Hardy. The full range is being reissued with a nickel silver double screw line guide, raised spindle casing, and a collectable leather reel bag. The line guard is marked with an engraved commemorative dating of 1872-2022 and will only be sold through December 2022.

I was drawn to this reel because of its classic design and the 150-year anniversary theme. The nickel silver line guide feels smooth and durable. The leather bag adds a nice touch. It’s a great piece for both fishing and as a collector’s item.
