Hardy Fortuna Regent fly reels are the higher-end option in this lineup for anglers who want a serious saltwater reel with a refined feel. When the fish are fast, the runs are long, and the environment is unforgiving, the priorities are simple: smooth drag engagement, confident pressure control, and a reel that stays consistent through heat, spray, and repeated use. Fortuna Regent is built for that job, whether you are stalking flats fish or fishing coastal and inshore water where hard runs are the norm.
The Free Fly Line offer makes it easier to complete a travel-ready setup without piecing everything together. Choose the reel size that matches your rod and target species, then you are one step closer to a system that is balanced, practical, and ready to fish.
*Free Fly Line up to $99.99 value. Please choose from the drop-down list OR contact us with your choice of line. You are welcome to choose lines from RIO, Scientific Anglers, OPST, Cortland, or Airflo. If line retails for more than $99.99 you pay the price difference. Thank You from the Gorge Fly Shop Team.
DescriptionDesigned for use in some of the most demanding conditions around the globe, the Fortuna Regent delivers effortless control, power, and rapid line retrieval when you need it the most. The Fortuna Regent is built around a multi-pad, carbon fiber disc drag system housed within a sealed, waterproof hub design, which offers the highest level of sealing yet seen on a Hardy fly reel. Drag is adjusted via a tensioned regulator that results in positive, linear drag application within a one turn range whilst delivering impressive top end drag. Finally, the large arbor spool delivers exceptional line pick up, and the narrow spool profile ensures easy level stacking of the line during the heat of the battle. Offering flawless reliability on your next saltwater adventure, the Fortuna Regent is a worthy successor to the original Fortuna series.
