It's Zane Grey

George Thwaites recounts a recent fly shop interview with Crosby Beane of Hardy North America and includes this humorous quote from the recently released movie “The Lost World of Mr. Hardy:” “Zane Grey came to Hardy and asked if we could make the most expensive and the best tackle in the world for all of his record breaking adventures. We said we’d have a jolly good try making it the best and we could certainly make it the most expensive.” (From TimesNews.net.) While the tongue-in-cheek approach to marketing suites Hardy well, it should be noted that Hardy makes several popular fly rods — like those in the G series and their Streamflex models — that easily qualify as “affordable.”
