Hardy Marksman Single Handed Fly Rod 1 5 5 1
Specification

The new Hardy Marksman is a strong, yet considerably lighter blank that has been matched with an all new reel seat that further accentuates the weight reduction and promotes an almost weightless in hand feel. Fitted with titanium guides and dressed in a subtle non-flash golden olive, its understated looks hide a capability that needs to be experienced.

Designed and developed in Alnwick England during Hardy's 150th year their new flagship rod "The Marksman" truly hits the mark to be deemed "perfect".

Best of Category 2023

When we fish, the demands we place on little more than a couple of ounces of carbon fibre are considerable, we expect featherlight touch and feel in close, backbone enough to drive a long, fast and accurate loop but with the durability to fight and land that fish of the day, season or even a lifetime. The new Hardy Marksman has been designed, developed and tested with this incredibly varied challenge in mind.

I visited Sportfish Reading to try the Hardy Marksman 9' 6# rod

I visited Sportfish Reading to try the Hardy Marksman 9' 6# rod just after Christmas. The conditions were awful but the rod was extremely accurate despite this. It felt responsive and really nice to cast. I also tried the 10' 7# which was even better in the conditions. In the end, I bought both and couldn't be happier. Big thanks to Josh and Robin for organizing things.
