Known to many as the star of the Chasing Silver TV and DVD series from Howard
Films, Andy will manage pre production design, field testing and product launch
of Hardy's new saltwater rods and reels.
In a recent statement Andy said, "It's an honor and privilege to be with Hardy
which I've always considered to be the "Rolex" of freshwater fishing products.
It's my personal goal to help bring that same image to the salt."
"We are excited to have Andy aboard", said Jim Murphy, President of Hardy North
America. "This is not a run of the mill endorsement deal; Andy will manage this
product development project as a full member of our team. He will work with
Howard Croston, Hardy's lead designer, to develop the next generation of salt
water tackle. We believe that Andy's very successful techniques of catching and
fighting fish are unique, and will result in a truly innovative line of fly rods
and reels. We are committed to taking a lead position in salt water and Andy is
the guy to lead our efforts."
Andy will also serve as spokesman for Hardy. His first appearance for Hardy will
be at the Fly Tackle Retailer Show in Denver, September 10-12.
