The Marksman blends the most modern research with classical styling. The key lies in the ultra smooth blanks giving medium-fast recovery. This combination is perfect for nearly all river and light still water situations. What we’ve done is create an elusive blend: here is rod that can put out tight loops yet yield gently to the pressure of a taking fish. We've added ultra-light rod rings which aid the rod’s recovery, vital for casting in the tightest situations. Even the reel seat is exquisitely sculptured and finished in nickel-silver. With a sumptuous finish, the Marksman is an irresistible rod that just has to be used.

Previously, rods had been hand planed, a process that could never achieve the straight, true-actioned split bamboo rod that comes from the machine. For over half a century, Hardy made ten thousand rods each year from split bamboo and our master rod builder Callum Gladstone has been fashioning them for over two decades. We use some of the classic rod designs of all time and in the world of split bamboo no-one has more experience or expertise than Hardy.
