Fly Fishing Reviews

Experience an ageless classic reborn in the Hardy Cascapedia, a fly fishing reel so well-loved that most anglers have no fear of “buying before trying” — and for good reason. The Hardy Cascapedia has the traditional look that harkens memories of troweling the rivers with Dad or Grandpa for trout, salmon and steel head; but is updated with modern features for precision angling like a drag regular button that includes a pointer for hitting the sweet spot every time. The unique ‘S’ shape of the Hardy Cascapedia reel handle allows for a tight grip for those fun-to-catch, tough-to-land fish; while a centralized click check braking system protects light tippets and, coupled with the steel clutch, means even braking pressure so you’re in control of the fish.

The Hardy Cascapedia is a favorite among classic and new-era fishermen alike for its robust engineering and intuitive handling – the Hardy Cascapedia makes fly fishing easy! From the modernist to the throwback, all anglers prefer the disc drag’s inherent powerful ability to snag the largest salmon without stripping the non-slipping gears. For over a century, the Hardy Cascapedia has been renowned as a gift to fly fishing – and the modern-day equivalent of the classic is no different.
