Hardy MARKSMAN AND MARKSMAN DRIFTER FLY RODS

MARKSMAN FLY ROD SERIES

“What a glorious blend of functionality, design and aesthetics. The reel is exquisite while the rod is simply faultless. How fortunate we are nowadays to have such products in our sport made from materials to match our needs.” Jeremy Lucas ( England Team Member)

The Marksman blends the most modern research with classical styling. The key lies in the ultra-smooth blanks giving medium-fast recovery. This combination is perfect for nearly all river and light still water situations. What we’ve done is create an elusive blend: here is a rod that can put out tight loops yet yield gently to the pressure of taking fish. We’ve added ultra-light rod rings which aid the rod’s recovery, vital for casting in the tightest situations. Even the reel seat is exquisitely sculptured and finished in nickel-silver. With a sumptuous finish, the Marksman is an irresistible rod that just has to be used.

• There is a comprehensive range of Marksman rods – all carefully specified to suit the tasks for which they are designed.
• The 6’ #2 and the 7’ #3 – for supreme delicacy, when fishing small rivers and streams.
