Thread: Hardy/Greys .... the Leader in Two Things, Worst Customer Service and .....

Guys I dot abuse any of my equipment. Actually I am kind of a freak when it comes to up keep. I used to mate on some of the best private boats on the east coast in some of the largest t tournaments. I am fishing about 2 to 3 days per week. These breaks are coming not from split shot or abuse , but from fishing. The rods itself are breaking in some strange spots. Especially at the ferrules. As for the angel reel. That thing was the biggest peice of crap. And if u want to know how good I keep up on my equipment I just sold 2 hatch reels in order to purchase two brand new hatch finatics . They were used 2 seasons. Here's the blog to one guy that I sold it too The Weary Angler.

Rods should not break like this. I have a few sage esn and have a bunch of zaxis rods. None of them to this date has skipped a beat. Since sage has been so good I me I just purchased two sage one rods. Thankfully I do have the disposable income in order to buy this but it does get me annoyed that those hardy Rods break so easily. And after seeing there sloppiness at the recent somerset show I am done with that company.

I got my angel 2 over two years ago. It's been flawless. Again if you had sent in the warranty it would have been replaced. Throwing it off the bridge was just dumb

So what we're saying is that Lefty attended the show this year to get stoned with the Hardy reps and get away from his wife?

This thread inspired me to visit my local shop tonight to see an Angel for myself. Corrosion resistance aside, they felt like crap next to a similarly priced Ross, Nautilus, or Lamson. My Korean made Battenkills have smoother drags and feel more solid.

Skim,
I think so as well, he has gotten the sage ESN it will never break. He is already better because of it his days on the water have increaded 3 fold in just a few days. He went from fishing 1 day a week with a full time job to 2 or 3. disposable income or not tossing a reel is crap. I love guy like this that come thru the shop wiggle a rod back and forth and buy it beacuse of the name it has on it without ever casting it. wich there were more guys with disposable income industry would be better off.

I was at Hale Eddy this morning..Water was up a bit, waded a grid pattern for about 50 yards, no reel...Can you be a bit more decrepit as to where you tossed that reel? I have an LHR that I love and had no problems with,That Angle will look nice on it, and its probably nice and clean by now..
