Those that fish will know Hardy's well. If you have a few million you can now buy them if you fancy. Always a bit overpriced for me although I do have a couple of their rods.

Sh1t!!

Lets hope Eric Clapton adds it to his portfolio, like Cordings
Or Kenny Jones or similar.

Hope it stays British :flag5:

It stopped being British when they started to get all their blanks made in China. That's why I bought David Norwich rods until he retired.

I hope it gets sold as a going concern as it would be painful to watch it disappear into the history books!
On the plus side thou.... my collection of antique Hardy rods, reels,prawns and Devon minnows might go up in value.

I've got a rather nice Hardy SxS 12g shotgun!! No doubt made elsewhere but engraved Hardy Alnwick!

I have been given a Hardys Cascapedia Salmon Reel ... only used once. But they are now made in Thailand not England. The previous version is significantly better and when they started having them made abroad the price did not drop, but quality did.
