The Bouglé
BOUGLÉ FLY REEL
The first Hardy Bouglé reel was catalogued in 1903, and was, as it
remains to this day, a variation on the famous Hardy Perfect reel.
The variation was initially requested by Frenchman Louis Bouglé,
an extremely knowledgeable fisherman and tournament caster who
requested that Hardy produce a reel with a good line capacity which
remained light enough to balance rods between 41/2oz and 8oz.
From this initial request, the Bouglé reel went from strength to
strength and became one of the most famous reels in angling history.
Now, 110 years later, we at Hardy Bros., Alnwick are proud to offer
a new variant of the Bouglé reel which we feel is one of the best
yet—with its rolling pillar; reversible click check; naval brass bush
and spindle; and its hand polished, deep anodised ‘pearl silver’
finish. This Bouglé reel is sure to become one of the classics.
Made by time served Hardy Bros. reel makers here in Alnwick,
England, this Bouglé reel comes presented in a beautiful,
UK made, soft leather, sheepskin lined reel case.
