Hardy Angel Fly Rod
Howard Croston, Hardy's specialist product
adviser and England Team Member, explains exactly what Hardy is trying
to achieve with the Angel.
"Our objectives were to make the lightest, most responsive rod ever
made. We wanted a rod that could deliver great performance with a
minimum of effort. And that’s what we’ve done. The Angel gives great
loop formation, and you can point, lift and shoot out a line with
bull’s-eye accuracy. It is as close as we can get to that indescribable
buzz you feel when you pick up a rod that you know instantly is made for
you. The Angel isn’t just physically light – we’ve shaved half an ounce
off virtually every other comparable fl y rod in
the world - but it feels light."
"So, we’ve built the best rod in the world. Where did we go from there?
Well, to the guides and the ghillies of the world. We put the Angel
through a whole year of trials in every conceivable climate and water
type - for fish big and small. Long casting. Short casting. Baking hot
or freezing cold, the Angel has been there and done it. I’ve lived with
the rod for well over a year and it’s truly great. I love it. Definitely
my favorite rod.”
|
We also realize that the best rod in the world deserves to see the world
so we’ve built a multi-piece Smuggler version. This breaks down into a
rod tube short enough to fit into any suitcase, hold-all or aircraft
locker so that you never need to go anywhere without your guardian
Angel.

"HARDY'S"
is the last word in fishing rods and tackle. Avoid the imitators who tell
you the old, old story, they are "just as good as Hardy's." Your safeguard
is to see that the name "House of Hardy" is stamped on all rods, reels,
etc.
