Hardy Marksman

The ultimate river and in-close stillwater reel. It's blissfully simple. The unique spindle-less design with its large central bearing reduces weight and ensures the sensitivity needed for the finest tippets. The exposed rim and lightweight click-check give you precise control of a running fish. It also looks stunning. Pair it with a Marksman rod and you have a dream river outfit.

New for 2009 is the #5/6 model, designed to team up with the new 9' #6 and Marksman Drifter rods on large still waters.

• Spindle-less design reduces weight
