Fly Fishing Reels – Hardy
Fly Fishing Reels - Hardy
I’m currently looking at spreading my wings and trying out some different types of fishing. Fly Fishing is something I’ve only tried once and to be honest at the time it was more watching than fishing.
I’ve come across hardyfishing.com and was looking though the products and came to the one on the left.
I looked though all the specs and then got to the price… £5500 so after getting back on my chair after falling of it I thought I’d make a post and see what the most expensive items you have.
Do you think its important to have the best of the best? and how much difference do you think it really makes? Anyway if you interested in the Zane TI fly fishing reel from hardy here’s the spec.
Zane Ti
Ti stands for titanium, the strongest non-ferrous metal known to man. That’s why this reel is nearly indestructible. That’s why it takes six continuous days of machining to make a single one. Unparalleled corrosion resistance makes this the ideal reel for saltwater, as titanium has the highest strength to weight ratio of any metal. In its pure form, titanium is as strong as steel but forty-five percent lighter. An extraordinary product from Hardy.
- Fully sealed multi-drag system
- Large, easy to use, central drag knob
- Machined from solid bar stock Titanium
- Hand finished and polished by our reel engineers in AlnwickSupplied in Classic horse shoe block leather case

I use rimfly reels (got 3) for fluff chucking I just cannot justify such huge amounts of money for tackle when it gets used for such a short time in the year
OK I know that I can fly fish for other than game species and I do use it for small Pike at times
and I do try to tie my own flies too

If you’re fly fishing is mostly on salt water, fishing for Tarpen and other large species, this is the reel for you!
To my mind, it is without doubt an awesome bit of kit and will outlast many other similar products. The old adage, ‘you get what you pay for’ applies here.

Hi everyone!
I have a question not exactly concerning the topic of this section but I haven’t found a category dealing with my question..
I’m James and I will start fly-fishing this year. I already bought some equipment but especially the range of fly fishing reels is confusing me…
One of my mates recommended Z-Reels (http://www.z-reels.de/home.html) but before buying one I’d just like to make sure that it is the right choice..
Does anyboby know Z-Reels? Any experience? Any comments? Anybody knows where I can buy them in the UK? (or anywehere else?)
Thanks for your help..
James
