Hardy Marksman Spin Description
Hardy Marksman Spin
It is a fact that more salmon are caught each year with a spinner than with a fly. Lure fishing can be every bit as skilful as the fly and equally absorbing. With the Marksman Spin, we have produced a state of the art series of rods that combine classic good looks with the latest blank technology. The actions are carefully tailored to allow easy casting of a wide range of lures, whilst providing enough backbone to subdue a strong migratory fish intent upon heading back to the sea.
Stunning cosmetics incorporate a polished aluminium Dr Hamish helical reel seat, Wye butt cap, finest grade Portuguese cork handle and Fuji SIC rings. Each rod comes supplied in a smart cordura tube and carries an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
NEW for 2008 is the Marksman Smuggler Spin which brings all the winning features and build quality of the three piece version in to the grasp of the travelling angler.
- 8’6 7-20g – ideal for small to medium sized lures on all but the largest waters.
- 9’6 10-25g – aimed at larger rivers and lakes for smaller salmon, sea trout and steelhead.
- 10’ No1. 10-30g – the mainstay of the range when tackling large waters for most species.
- 10' Smuggler 15-60g - Ideal for heavy spinning work in a compact package.
- 10’ No2. 18-50g – ideal for larger lures and high water when chasing large spring and autumn fish.
- 11’ 15-40g – useful when extra length allows increased control in strong currents.
