Why We Like The Hardy Fortuna Regent Fly Reel

For those of us who dream of bonefish and redfish, the Hardy Fortuna Regent Fly Reel is a top-of-the-line reel designed specifically for saltwater fisheries. The reel features a large arbor and narrow spool profile, making it easy to pick up line and stack it evenly during intense fights. One of the standout features is its high-power drag system, which is sealed within Hardy's best waterproof drag housing. This means you can trust it to perform flawlessly in even the most demanding conditions. With its effortless control, incredible power, and rapid line retrieval, this reel is a worthy successor to the original Fortuna series.
