The Reel

The GX500 reel features a new system of friction fit identification pins that allows you to clearly mark the spool with line size, density, sink profile and core type, allowing you to select the correct line at a glance.

Ported arbour design and a superb Greys drag system makes this a tough but extremely light reel. 4/5/6 and 6/7/8 weights.

  • Narrow width, large arbour design for fast, level retrieve
  • Ported arbour design to reduce weight
  • Tri-grip handle design
  • 4/5/6 size and 6/7/8 size spools interchangeable with the equivalent GX700 Reel
  • Captive spool release mechanism
  • Centralised twin Rulon disc drag system with twin dog drive
  • Tool free left to right conversion
  • Counter balanced spool
  • Not recommended for saltwater use



The Lines

This Hardy entry level line totally defies that description. Entry level it may be but it's still a magnificent performer. We offer a tight range. The two floaters come in both weight forward and double taper options. The intermediate and medium sinkers are built upon a weight forward profile. This straight forward, no nonesense range will meet virtually all fly fishing challenges. These lines are durable, long casting and offer easy control. They have next to no memory and give you the near‑perfect presentation you need.

  • 90 feet long
  • AFTM compliant
