Description

The core of the Hardy performance reel range, Averon delivers the quality and reliability that are the hallmarks of the Hardy brand. Its lightweight yet durable design has been carefully crafted to blend performance, fishability, and long term reliability into a stylish large arbour design. Size dependent the reels benefit from both open or closed frame designs. Open frame is utilized on sizes where weight reduction and rapid spool changes are essential and a closed frame is employed on both the 5000 EN and 9000 models where thin running lines or specialist euronymph lines may be used. For over 150 years Hardy has been at the forefront of reel design and this newest addition is built to the same exacting standards and passion for innovation.

Great reel I've had a chance to use the reel a few times now, and it performs perfectly. It's super light, has plenty of drag power, and very low startup inertia. I love it.

Not the right reel I' sure the reel is great, but I tried to get the Averon Euro reel and not the regular Averon reel. Hardy support was unwilling to exchange the reel.

A little more real than I needed, but great. Using this on an Ultralight LL with a mono-rig so it's doing nothing more than holding a fly line (that doesn't get used). While I don't think it's a full-cage reel the tolerances are tight enough that the long mono leader hasn't gotten stuck anywhere. I'm sure it can handle a heck of a trout, and I hope to put that to the test some day but for now it's doing the least that could be asked of it. Packaging, like the fly rod was first class throughout.
