T.F.M. Finds Hardy Shop in Garage!

Leave it to T.F.M.'s overtime on the internet to actually pay off to something good. Last week while going through the fans on T.F.M.'s facebook page, I noticed that Matt Schliske had joined up. I clicked his profile and then perused his website finding not only some very impressive bamboo builds, photos, and videos but also that he is a Hardy/Greys dealer. We've been trading emails back and forth and I am excited to post that Matt Schliske is taking orders for the new Hardy fiberglass series of fly rods.


Matt Schliske says this of the new Hardy glass, "I saw and cast the Hardy Glass rods at the Fly Fishing Retailer show in Denver last September. I was struck by their appearance. They had some nice classic touches like the ferrule plugs, tube sock, spigot ferrules and classic Hardy reel seats with cork spacers. I was amazed at how smoothly they cast a line. I decided they would be a nice compliment to the bamboo rods I make and sell.
I currently have the 5' 2wt in stock. I have all the other models on order as of today. I should have them in stock in a week or two. If I run out of a certain model, it usually takes 1-2 weeks for me to get one from Hardy."





"I always provide free shipping and Schliske Bamboo stickers with every Hardy order. If a rod and reel are purchased together, customers will receive a free Rio Selective Trout fly line. If they mention the Fiberglass Flyrodders forum or The Fiberglass Manifesto, they will also receive a free Schliske Bamboo T-Shirt."

T.F.M. always like to shine a light on those out there making a name for themselves and going "underground" by building great fly rods out of their garage, so if you have a Hardy/Greys purchase in mind please contact Matt Schliske through his website, www.bamboo-fisher.com, email at maker@bamboo-fisher.com, or by phone 970-443-4433.
