The Sirrus represents entry-level brilliance in a fishing rod, but that doesn’t reflect a jot on the performance or the faultless finish of the range. The Sirrus is a very sweet rod.

It’s lightweight and lively, it’s crisp, comfortable and becomes everyone’s favourite rod. All the rod’s devotees talk about its balance, its casting abilities, its speed on the strike and its overall sensitivity.

They also say how many times its forgiving nature saves a wayward cast and how great a rod it is to play a fish on. That’s because it has real ‘feel’, a quality true fishermen recognise and appreciate.

The Sirrus is remarkable for two things: its price and its all-round ‘fishability’ – another term anglers respond to. The Sirrus really can improve an angler’s performance and control, at a cost that’s easily worth paying.

What Geiri says about the Angel is all true. For example, in its larger sizes the reels boast four square inches of brake surface area. What this gives is an extremely smooth and reliable drag system whether at the lightest or the heaviest settings. It’s a centralised drag system, too, so it's easily accessible and easy to set where you, the angler, wants it to be. There is also an Angel TE available (in #4/5 and #6/7 sizes) in a stunning combination of red and silver.

The Angel has been widely admired for both its beauty and its powerful performance. The large arbor gives low line memory, rapid line retrieval and low start-up inertia with light tippets. A perfect fishing machine. Geiri Thordarason, the Icelandic guide, told us: “The Angel is a great reel for Icelandic fish, which of course are totally wild. We have trout, sea trout, salmon and char and no fish fight as hard as wild ones. Our rivers are cold and fast so the fish are strong and in great condition. And they’re big. You need good tackle to cope with some of the world’s big fly fishing challenges. The Angel. Light but strong, yet one hundred percent reliable and almost unbreakable. With a drag system that’s perfection for big, fast fish like these. We are proud of our fish in Iceland and happy to use Hardy.”

These new Swift reels are an integral part of our performance range and push the concept ever forwards. The cage is gunmetal blue, the spool silver and it looks as great as it performs. The cat’s claw ventilation pattern also enhances the reel's looks but, vitally, it reduces the weight of the reel considerably without any impact on the reel's extraordinary strength. The Swift's capacity is at the upper end of mid arbor and this gives tremendous backing capacity along with the big line coils that make for easy casting and great control. The wide-ranging disc brake is perfect for stopping big fish. A floating clutch gives one of the easiest left to right hand conversions ever conceived whilst the anti-snag reel back makes tangles a thing of the past. Nothing has been overlooked.

Braided loops are by far the best way of securing any type of leader to your fly line and can also be used for connection between your fly line and backing.

Manufactured using only the very finest co-polymer material. The taper is designed to be stiff in the butt with the most delicate of forward sections.

Knotless tapered leaders roll over much more easily and present your flies so much more delicately than home-made leaders. Perfect for wild fish in clear waters.

The absence of knots is of great benefit, especially when fishing the surface or top zones.

Available in seven-foot six-inch, nine-foot and twelve-foot lengths.

Our tippet material is of the same high-grade co-polymer as the leaders.

Tippet spools are individually colour coded so you instantly recognise the diameter of the tippet you are seeking.

The spools are all designed to slot together into one handy, secure package. No more fumbling in tackle bags. Valuable time is saved during the course of a competition or at the critical moment of the rise.

Available in thirty meter or fifty meter spools based on breaking strain.

Wear this new, ultra-lightweight breathable wading jacket and never again be caught out on warm days by unexpected summer cloudbursts or intermittent showers.
