The Original St George reels were produced in Alnwick from
1911 until 1983 and the fact they were produced for so long
proves that they were amongst the finest fishing reels ever
made.
This engraved commemorative Gold edition is produced in a
limited run of 100 reels, to celebrate the wedding of Prince
William of Wales to Miss Catherine Middleton on 29th April
2011.
Hardy have had connections to the British Royal Family since
1898 when The Duke of York granted his Patronage to the
company. This was followed in 1901 by the Prince of Wales,
who went further by granting a Royal Warrant. Further
patronages or Royal Warrants were granted by The Princess
Royal (1906), King George V (1911), Queen Mary (1911),
Princess Mary (1923), The Prince of Wales (1931). Since
1980, Hardy have held a Royal Warrant as manufacturers of
fishing tackle for the current Prince of Wales, Prince Charles.
Named after St George, Patron Saint of England, the first
model in this long running series was a 3 3/4" trout reel,
weighing only six ounces. It was not just an incredibly
lightweight reel for its day - it was also fitted as standard
with such innovative features as a circular agate line guard
and a compensating check.
For the Hardy collector, the original St George is considered
something to behold and highly sought after.
Limited edition due out April 15. $1200.00.
