Versatility on the water isn’t just about the right rod and reel—it’s also about the right line for the moment. That’s where a spare spool shines.

When you pair the Hardy Marksman Z with the Hardy Fortuna Regent, a spare spool is included with your purchase—giving you a second line setup, ready to go.

A spare spool keeps you prepared for the realities of saltwater fishing. Wind shifts, depth changes, and different presentations demand different lines. A floating line may be your workhorse, but on that trip of a lifetime you’ll often need an intermediate or sinking line to get the fly into the zone and make the trip count. Highly pressured tarpon and skittish bonefish can turn more forgiving with a clear line. And if you fish regions with varied temperatures, the ability to move between tropical and coldwater lines as seasons change keeps your setup performing exactly as it should.

Instead of stripping line off, fighting coils and twists, and reloading on a rocking deck or in a cramped lodge room, a spare spool makes line changes fast, clean, and controlled.

A spare spool also means you can have fewer reels without limiting your options. Fortuna Regent sizes are designed to cover multiple line weights, so one reel can do double duty across rods—each matched with the appropriate line—simply by changing spools. The same advantage pays off when you travel: less weight and bulk, more capability, and the right line within reach.

Marksman Z delivers unrivaled accuracy, feel, and power for demanding saltwater fish. The Fortuna Regent brings the drag and reliability. The included spare spool adds the versatility that keeps you effective—wherever you fish, and whatever the day turns into.
