Hardy Zane Fly Reel Description
Hardy Zane Fly Reel
The standard Zane is anything but standard. It is precision engineered from high-grade aluminium and shares the same glorious looks as the Ti. A reel that reflects the savage beauty of the sea.
The reel is constructed so that you can flush it clean at the end of its working day. The open drag system the reel incorporates mean that the sand, gravel and salt that goes in can just as easily be washed out.
The drag plate is knurled so it is supremely easy to set the drag and make the most minor of adjustments. The Zane reels allow you to preset the maximum drag setting to suit your tippet strength exactly. Once set, the drag can’t be over-tightened to result in a break-off. The reel is well ventilated, partly for lightness but mainly for heat dissipation in the course of the battle.
- All Zanes have a huge backing capacity to cope with the largest species.
- The handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip in all conditions.
- The No1 (#7/8) is the bonefish and bass standard. The No2 (#9/10) is perfect for permit. The No3 (#11/12) is designed for serious tarpon fishing.
- Designed for saltwater but equally at home fishing for salmon, sea trout and steelhead.
- Available in #7 to #12 weight options
