Sold – Hardy Fortuna 8000 XDS - REEL1154

The Hardy Fortuna 8000 XDS is built for anglers chasing demanding saltwater gamefish and heavy freshwater predators. Perfectly sized for 8-weight to 10-weight setups, this reel handles the blistering runs of bonefish, the sheer power of permit, and the explosive energy of offshore pelagics. It delivers unmatched stopping power with a sealed multi-carbon disc drag system capable of generating up to 30 pounds of pressure. This brute strength is matched by exceptionally smooth engagement and low start-up inertia, ensuring you stay in total control when fighting aggressive fish.

Machined from premium 6061 bar-stock aluminum, the XDS stands as a lighter evolution of the legendary Fortuna series while retaining uncompromising durability. The reel features a fully waterproof drag housing that locks out corrosive saltwater and grit for reliable performance in harsh environments. A standout innovation is the 340-degree color-coded drag control, which allows you to visually identify your setting and adjust from zero to maximum pressure in under a single turn. The reel also utilizes an intelligent captive spool release, guaranteeing you will never drop or lose small parts while changing spools on the water.
