" ......What Hardys' did was expand on these offerings and send you a 200+ page dream by post. Exotic locations combined with the finest, most up to date fishing tackle became the stuff of fantasy. The catalogues had great images, long descriptions of the hows and whys of angling, and details of wonderful gadgets that no fisherman had even realised they needed.

Andrew Herd nailed it when he referred to the Hardy's Anglers' Guides as "The Anglers' Bible" in his 2015 book of that name.
Today the early Guides (or 'Hardy Brothers' World Renowned Angling Specialities' as they modestly entitled the early versions) achieve prices in the thousands, pounds or dollars..... and pre 1930 catalogues aren't too easy to find.

To allow modern collectors to dive into the dreams of their forefathers we've scanned the reel pages from the following catalogues - 1895, 1899, 1912, 1921, 1925, 1928 and 1934."

Thanks,
Brian
