Hi folks. Here’s a little info for you all … some are aware of this fact and many are not:
Did you know that many models of HARDY Fly Reels are now being made in Korea and most or all will be made in Korea over time? How’s that for a shocker? I was disappointed to find this out myself, especially because the retail price of Hardy Reels has increased so much in the past year or so. Not sure I understand the “economics” from the Consumer end on this one … $300.00 to $500.00+ for a classic styled click-drag reel made in Korea??? One of Hardy’s biggest selling points was the Classic “Made in England” appeal. I’m sure the “collectibility of newer reels will also be hurt.
