HARDY MARKSMAN Z 9012 FLY ROD
There are few environments that can offer the challenge of the salt. Smooth early morning runs through thick air across nervous liquid silver flats can quickly yield to cast killing winds and seemingly impossible shots from an unstable casting platform. However when the wind drops, the stars align and you slide that fly into the bulls eye there is no match for the feeling of expectation turning instantly into adrenaline as a hundred pounds of chrome goes airborne or six pounds of silver leaves the flat like its been fired from a gun.
The Hardy Marksman Z with its unrivalled blend of feel, power, recovery and down right durability has been designed in conjunction with some of the finest guides, anglers and legends in the saltwater world. From Gold Cups to grand slams and a thousand different challenges in between, the Hardy Marksman Z is the right rod for that right moment in the salt.

HARDY FORTUNA REGENT 12000 FLY REEL: 11+WT
Designed for the tarpon, GT, tuna and sailfish anglers, the new Hardy Fortuna Regent exemplifies beauty, durability, and drag in a saltwater fly reel. For use in some of the most demanding conditions around the globe, the Fortuna Regent delivers effortless control, power, and rapid line retrieval when you need it the most. The Fortuna Regent is built around a multi-pad, carbon fibre disc drag system housed within a sealed, waterproof hub design, which offers the highest level of sealing yet seen on a Hardy fly reel. Did we mention it won the 2022 ICAST Best Saltwater Fly Reel award.
The drag is adjusted via a tensioned regulator that results in positive, linear drag application within a one 360 degree turn range whilst delivering impressive top end 22 pounds of drag. For reference, 12 pounds of drag can land an Atlantic sailfish. Finally, the large arbor spool delivers exceptional 14-1/2 inches of line per rotation, and the narrow spool profile ensures easy level stacking of the line during the heat of the battle. Offering flawless reliability on your next saltwater adventure, the Fortuna Regent is a worthy successor to the original Fortuna series.
