Hardy Gladstone

Hardy Gladstone

Named in tribute to Callum Gladstone, Hardy's master-builder of split-bamboo fly rods, the first thing that you will notice about this new rod is its spectacular appearance. Prior to the building process, the finest Tonkin bamboo is hand-flamed, resulting in a rich, dark brown tortoiseshell finish.

This two-piece rod series is available in three sizes, each with its own individual taper that celebrates the achievements of some of the greatest American split-cane rod builders of the past: the Leonard family, Everett Garrison and Edward Payne. Minute adjustments are made to the Hardy precision planning form, to painstakingly recreate a modern version of these classic tapers. The perfect angle and taper on each spline means that the finished rod forms a perfect hexagon. Each rod shares in common the 'swelled butt' that contributes considerable backbone to the feel, allowing a deep action to be combined with excellent dampening characteristics.
