The strength of the Bougle - apart from its looks - lies in its ability to protect tippets. The design is derived from the historic Hardy Perfect: the Bougle runs on ball-bearings which make it one of the smoothest winding reels ever constructed. The ventilated spool and the aluminium spindle both contribute to lightness and strength. The Bougle is characterised by the clear anodised aluminium finish and the striking ivorine handle. And of course by the sing-song notes of a fish taking line.

One of the most famous pools on one of the most famous salmon rivers, the Namsen in Norway, in part derives its name from the Bougles. The pool is called the Music Box reputedly because of the number of big fish over the years running line off our singing Bougle! Indeed, when you think about the Bougle, it’s the glorious sound of the check that stays with you. It’s a reel with voice. And when a big fish runs, it’s a reel that sings!
It’s easy to forget that the Bougle Mk VI is derived from the older, equally classic Perfect. The Perfect ran on ball bearings which made it the smoothest winding reel of its time – yet time has in no way dated the muscular beauty of the Bougle. This new Bouglé has been enhanced by the return of the reel to its original clear anodized aluminum finish. With its ivorine handle, the Bougle does look at its very best in its sumptuous silver sheen. The ventilated spool and aluminum spindle both help with the reel’s lightness but doesn’t do anything to compromise its legendary strength. In short, it’s a reel you can trust and enjoy in equal measure.
