In an effort to expand our line of top end gear we've brought on the Hardy product line through our new rep and former associate, Rob Kolanda. For well over a century Hardy has been recognized as one of the top manufacturers in fishing tackle.  That history began in 1872, when William Hardy established himself as a gunsmith in his home town of Alnwick, Northumberland. A year later he was joined by his brother, John James, and the Hardy Brothers Partnership came into being. The high quality guns which they sold ranged from shotguns to pistols. Despite their success, the Hardy brothers' passion for fishing soon dictated a change in direction. Their favourite hobby became their profession. At its Alnwick base, Hardy designs all the ranges of tackle sold under the Hardy, Greys and Chub brand names. Extensive investment in advanced computing software, in finite element analysis techniques and in custom designed static and dynamic testing rigs ensure that all equipment both meets the high Hardy quality standards but also that it satisfies even the most demanding angler. In October of last year Hardy North America offically opened the doors of their new warehouse service and distribution facility, where both Hardy & Greys products are shipped to US dealers. Hardy has been working hard to lineup a relationship with Front Range Anglers which is recognized as one of the most progressive shops in the Western US.  We look forward to a long and beneficial relationship Hardy & Greys Ltd.
