Hardy Perfect Fly Reel

This is a super 4 inch HARDY PERFECT REEL.

It is a quality right hand wind reel in perfect mechanical condition. All original with no cracks in the frame, winding plate or the spool which has four neat little cut outs in it. The foot is smooth and made from brass and it is complete.

There is a nickel silver line guide that may have been retrofitted by Hardy Bros. many years ago. Or, it is also possible, the reel was restored at Hardys by one of their skilled craftsmen. There is beautifully sculptured piece of copper shaped around the frame and this has been used to secure the line guide in place.

The action on the reel is incredibly smooth with a crisp two tone sound. There is absolutly no wobble or free play anywhere on the reel. I understand the click system is designated as a 1912 check system.
