Hand Crafted Moran Cane Rods

A quality cane rod, handmade in Alnwick by Tom Moran from hand split Tonkin Bamboo.

Hardy have been hand crafting bamboo fly rods in Alnwick, England, since 1872 - that's almost 140 years of experience, and the introduction of its best ever range of bamboo rods only re-affirms its commitment to the bamboo from which its winning history was born.

To say that the Hardy Bros Master Bamboo Rod Builders are passionate about their work is an understatement - to them it is without a doubt a passion, not just a profession. Even without meeting Tom Moran or Calum Gladstone in the flesh, this becomes clearly obvious when you first cast your eyes over one of their stunning, hand crafted, Hardy Bros bamboo fly rods.

The first thing you notice might be the Hardy Bros crystal clear finish on the pure silk wraps with their single tippings, or it might be the hand filed, heat pressed nodes, or the beautifully hand scripted artwork. Look a little further and you'll notice the Super Z rod joints, the Moran style hook keeper and the flor grade cork handle.

Even when you are slipping the rod sections back into their canvas rod sleeve, which incidentally is also ‘Made in England' or as you're turning the solid brass end cap of the rod tube, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and passion that has gone into building this individual rod just for you.

Even in the already ultra high quality world of handmade bamboo fly rods, everyone here at Hardy's in Alnwick, along with Bamboo rod experts and aficionados from around the world, believe these Hardy Bros Bamboo rods have set a new standard for build quality and attention to detail that others will strive to follow.
