The Classic range draws its inspiration from our past, but by utilising every trick of modern technology Hardy have made every item in it totally compatible with the future. The new Classic Lightweight rod range owes a lot to past designs, but are perfected through modern technological processes to meet the demands & expectations of modern fishermen. These new Lightweight rods are at the core of the Classic range. Great to look at with traditional fittings & cosmetics, they also load well & give a smooth, accurate delivery. The slightly reduced resin content in the tip speeds recovery & gives a rod that crispness river anglers especially need for tight controlled casting. Glass fibre has been largely ignored over the past twenty years in favour of lighter & faster carbon fibres. It's true that carbon is a superior material for lots of rod construction purposes, but not all. Adding glass to the mix gives a rod incredible durability & resistance to impact
- making it ideal for the toughest fishing on back-country rivers & streams. By mixing glass to carbon Hardy have achieved an easy loading, smooth action, with controlled, well-dampened recovery. They allow short range, controlled presentation with the absolute minimum of fly line beyond the tip ring. For the light, stream angler working in the tightest situations, Hardy Glass is the perfect choice.
