Since this book was first published in 2010 it has become an indispensable quick guide to the best reels ever made by Hardy, arguably the world’s greatest fishing tackle company. This introductory book covers the history of the reels made by Hardy, the key features of each of the main models, their date of manufacture and their description in the Hardy catalogues. It also includes a list of the main reel makers at Hardy. This new edition has been completely revised and enlarged and many new reels and photographs added, including the latest commemorative models produced by Hardy since 2010. Illustrated throughout with many monochrome and colour photographs. About the first edition - 'I did not think that I could find anything new within this work. But I was wrong. There has not been that much written on the post-war reels, and this gap is admirably filled . . . The book is laid out well with good photographs, and it is an easy read. For anyone looking for an introduction to Hardy reels, this is an ideal starting point' - Stefan Duma, Classic Angling. PRODUCTION 234 x 156mm. 144 pages. Monochrome and colour photographs. Dust jacket and head and tail bands.
