Hardy North America, Ltd. Hardy Bougle Fly Reel FLY REELS

The Hardgy Bougle reel has a long history and strong following amongst the the most ardent anglers. Originally designed in 1903 for Louis Bougle, a tournament caster and master angler, to have unparalleled line capacity and balance on the lighter rods of the time. From this initial request, the Bouglé reel went from strength to strength and became one of the most famous reels in angling history.

The latest variant of the Bouglé is one of the best yet – with its rolling pillar; reversible click check; naval brass bush and spindle; and its hand polished, deep anodised ‘pearl silver’ finish. This Bouglé reel is sure to become one of the classics. Made by time served Hardy Bros. reel makers here in Alnwick, England, this Bouglé reel comes presented in a beautiful, UK made, soft leather, sheepskin lined reel case.
