The name of Ari t' Hart must be one of the most famous in fly fishing and has been for the last 50 years. So much has been said about this artist, his career and especially his fly reels that there really is nothing more that I can add. Ari's latest reels are now being produced in strictly limited production runs and he will produce only 4 reel models each year, along with select fly fishing accessories. Reels will be numbered and come with a lifetime warranty. At the end of each production run that reel model will be retired. The prototype reels are designed and hand crafted by Ari. He then supervises the manufacture of each limited production run personally. Ari also offers a custom reel design and manufacture service for the ultimate fly fishing gift or self indulgence!

Astrid on Rod

We are pleased to be able to offer a limited combination of an Astrid reel mounted on a custom rod. The one pictured is No. 14 (right-handed) and includes an Astrid reel with an Orvis Zero Gravity, mid flex, 8 ½‘, 4 weight fly rod and a Scientific Angler’s Sharkskin line. The innovative design of the Astrid proves to be the ultimate in balanced fly reel by creating a reel seat that allows for movement back and forth to accommodate any fly rod. The 6 weight reel is made out of aluminum and steel with a palm drag system created with low maintenance and longevity in mind. Guaranteed for life the Astrid is serialized and will make any fly fisherman a devout Ari 't Hart follower. See also the Astrid reel.
