Meet a true classic: the Hardy Princess Reel 👑
First introduced in the 1950s, the Princess has stood the test of time—combining timeless design with dependable performance on the water. Built from bar stock aluminum with Hardy’s signature click-and-pawl drag, it’s lightweight, smooth, and sings that classic sound every angler loves.
Perfectly balanced for 5–6wt setups, whether you’re chasing wild trout in the Davidson or fishing your favorite backcountry stream.
A piece of fly fishing history you can fish hard—and pass down.
✨ Now available at our main shop in Rosman, NC. Stop by and take a look in person.
