Description

One of the favorites from Hardy's past, the Sovereign reels were conceived in 1987, remained in production until the late 1990's and offered highly advanced specifications together with maximum reliability. Packed with a powerful drag system and many other perform ance enhancing features, these new Hardy Sovereign reels are still constructed in Alnwick, England to the same exacting standards as their forebearers. A quote from a past Hardy catalogue that still rings true today is "There's only one word to describe the Sovereign Reel - Magic!"

  • Covers a wide range of fly line weights

Cons

Beautiful little reel Purchased the 7/8 - beautiful little trout reel for a 5 - 6wt. single hand rod. I love the ease of use in terms of changing the retrieve. Purrs like a kitten. Fantastic little reel - just fantastic.
