Crafted in partnership with Kelly Galloup, whose influence on streamer fishing has helped shape the way many anglers approach the technique today, the Averon Streamer reflects a focused, on-the-water understanding of what dedicated streamer anglers need from their gear. From line control to speed of response, every detail of the reel was considered through the lens of streamer performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody has ever built a reel specifically for streamer fishing,\u201d said Kelly Galloup. \u201cFor years, the industry has said, \u2018Just use whatever reel you\u2019ve got,\u2019 which you can. But when I\u2019m hunting THE fish, I want a reel that does exactly what I need it to do. That\u2019s why we built this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Streamer fishing is fast paced, aggressive, and dynamic by nature with anglers targeting the largest, most predatory trout that will test your abilities and that of your gear. The Hardy Averon Streamer reel was created with those demands in mind. At the core is an extra-large arbour designed to reduce line coil and memory while increasing line pickup speed, while the nearly friction-free incoming retrieve allows the reel to spin freely and clear slack line quickly with a slap of the rim. This helps anglers clear line from the bottom of the boat in a hurry and avoids stepping on the line, one of the most common mistakes Galloup sees anglers make that often results in break-offs.<\/p>\n
The reel also features a widened spool rim and increased spool mass to enhance rotational momentum and durability, helping anglers manage line more efficiently while standing up to hard use. A larger handle and counterbalance improve grip and control, while the audible outgoing click delivers the classic Hardy sound anglers know and appreciate. Finished in a durable bead-blasted matte black anodisation, the Averon Streamer pairs rugged performance with Hardy\u2019s signature attention to detail.<\/p>\n
\u201cStreamer fishing is aggressive, often unforgiving and requires total line control. The Averon Streamer was built to answer that call,\u201d said Jake Fischenich, Brand and Product Manager for Hardy. \u201cBy working closely with Kelly, we developed a reel that directly addresses the challenges streamer anglers face on the water, delivering speed, control, and reliability for serious streamer anglers.\u201d<\/p>\n
