NEW Hardy Zane Pro Rods 

The Zane Pro, Zephrus and Demon SWS are all fast action rods!

Lifetime.

@@TheSavagederek Good brand for sure

Worth it!

@@scottlysle so where are they made? Is it UK, China or ?

@@kingfisherphil HBX rod range are all made in Alnwick, England along with a lot of the classic reels and the bags and reel cases are also made in the UK. Not sure on these new Zane rods but I think possibly Korea? but the quality is great regardless, I have a Sirrus glass and that was made in China but it is great rod and excellent build quality. If you are going to turn something down if it is not made in the west then good luck buying most things! Unfortunately like a lot of companies Hardy went from a family business to part of a multinational, that means that profit is king not heritage. But at least they kept the Alnwick factory going and it still makes the top end stuff, the customers service is great to. Someone managed to snap a spinning rod of mine and this was replaced with a new rod for the price of a section as they no longer made the model I broke.

@@goddamnox that is great, frankly if I spend a lot on good gear I want to pay for skills in the west instead of cheap from the east!

If I'm not mistaken Hardy is still owned by an American company (pure fishing) so they have gone to the east for manufacture
