Hardy Angel 2 Fly Rods
Howard Croston, House Of Hardy specialist product adviser and England Team Member, explains exactly what we were trying to achieve with the Angel.
"Our objectives were to make the lightest, most responsive rod ever made. We wanted a rod that could deliver great performance with a minimum of effort. And that's what weve done. The Angel gives great loop formation, and you can point, lift and shoot out a line with bulls-eye accuracy. It is as close as we can get to that indescribable buzz you feel when you pick up a rod that you know instantly is made for you. The Angel isnt just physically light we've shaved half an ounce off virtually every other comparable fly rod in the world - but it feels light."
"So, weve built the best rod in the world. Where did we go from there? Well, to the guides and the ghillies of the world. We put the Angel through a whole year of trials in every conceivable climate and water type - for fish big and small. Long casting. Short casting. Baking hot or freezing cold, the Angel has been there and done it. I've lived with the rod for well over a year and it's truly great. I love it. Definitely my favourite rod.
We also realize that the best rod in the world deserves to see the world so weve built a multi-piece Smuggler version. This breaks down into a rod tube short enough to fit into any suitcase, holdall or aircraft locker so that you never need to go anywhere without your guardian Angel.
