The Hardy Heritage range consisting of rods and reels made in Alnwick, England - products symbolising the values making them one of the oldest and most respected fishing tackle makers in the world.

Items in the Hardy Heritage range include the most famous product ever to have been launched by Hardy; the Perfect reel, a timeless design revamped and relaunched utilising the most modern technology.

Other products in the range include the Gladstone bamboo rods, created by our master bamboo rod builder, Callum Gladstone.

The Perfect. The reel that needs no introduction. The reel that is perhaps the most famous product ever to have left the Hardy factory in Alnwick. A timeless design utilizing the most modern technology made once again in Alnwick, England – the Perfect really does typify the Heritage range.

The high quality, agate line guard, the dovetailed reel fitting, the durable gunmetal grey, anodized finish with distinctive ivorine handle all make this one of history’s most strikingly recognizable reels. And how well it fishes – fifteen stainless steel ball-bearings give the smoothest of winds.

The click-check in the two larger models and the fixed check in the smallest have protected the lightest tippets for decades. Perfect really does mean perfect.
