It's a
New Classic for 2015! You have to see it and touch it to appreciate the
quality and design of the hand-crafted Hardy Duchess! After a decade,
Hardy has introduced the first new classic reel. Offered in 4 sizes,
Hardy has spared no expense. The reel is machined from 6061 T6 bar stock
aluminum, anodized a beautiful Titanium color and assembled and
polished by hand in Alnwick, England. The inventive design offers dual
line guards, a stainless steel spindle with a lubricant filled recessed
area. The frame and spool are fully ported and boast a new and improved
click check system - sounding like music to a fly fisher! Hardy included
important details like fine knurling for better grip on the outer edge
of the frame & spool. See why the Duchess reel outshines the rest in
its class.
