Hardy Averon Reel

The Hardy Averon is the latest innovation in fly reel design, set to replace the popular Ultradisc series. Engineered for both performance and versatility, this reel delivers exceptional control and reliability across a wide range of fishing techniques.

The Averon’s lightweight yet durable design has been carefully crafted to blend performance, fishability and long term reliability into a stylish large arbour design. The reels benefit from open or closed frame designs, depending on size. Open frame where weight reduction and rapid spool changes are essential and a closed frame is employed on the 5000 EN & 9000 models where thin running lines or specialist euro nymph lines may be used. For over 150 years Hardy has been at the forefront of reel design and this newest addition is built to the same exacting standards and passion for innovation.

Design & Performance

The Averon features a lightweight, high-performance disc drag system with an open frame design (excluding the 9000 & Euro models). The enclosed multi-pad disc drag system is silky smooth and equipped with ultra-low start-up inertia for a responsive and consistent experience. With a 2.5 turn indexed drag, anglers can make quick and precise drag adjustments to suit any fishing scenario.

Drag System

Utilizing the same advanced drag system as its predecessor, the Ultradisc, the Averon offers an unregulated adjustment knob that allows you to fine-tune the drag to your preference. This system ensures low start-up inertia, maintaining the smooth performance Hardy reels are known for.

Half-Frame & Full-Cage Models

The Averon stands out with its availability in both half-frame and full-cage models. The full-cage design is optimized for Euro nymphing, Spey fishing, and other long-leader applications, providing added versatility for anglers. Additionally, full-cage Euro nymph-specific models are offered, with interchangeable spools that allow you to mix and match with a single frame.

Large Arbor & Aesthetic

This reel boasts a large-arbor design, reducing line memory and increasing retrieval rates. The Averon is available in two elegant color options: titanium with gold accents and black with gunmetal accents, ensuring both performance and style on the water.
