CC de France
The legendary Hardy CC de France bamboo fly rod, now available through Glasgow Angling Centre.
The original CC de France was built for and named after a competition
in which JJ Hardy of Hardy Bros – himself a keen fisherman and fly caster- was to compete. So, in 1910, armed with his 7' CC
de France which he had designed and built in the Alnwick factory
especially for the event, JJ Hardy entered and won his section in
1910 ‘Casting Club de France' competition.
On JJ Hardy's triumphant return to his beloved Alnwick, the CC
de France was put into production, and the first CC de France
rods were released for sale in 1911, 100 years ago. These original
rods remained in production for 50 years until 1961, but it was
JJ Hardy's very own original 7' CC de France that he used back
in 1910 that Hardy have based this 100th Anniversary limited edition
CC de France on. By re-creating this famous Hardy Bros CC
de France, we are delighted to offer today's Hardy customers a
chance to own their very own bit of the world famous Hardy Bros
history.
