and built for what feels like a #6 or #7 line

Built in 1979 during the Maxwell period

for a 5 weight line

All wraps remain sound and not in need of attention

Good tight ferrule fit and rod sections are straight

This rod was made in 1997

Mechanically the reel is still in excellent condition with a slight amount of end play like most Uniqua-style reels

I've been told there may be a little as five of these reels ever made in LHW (if you know otherwise

I'd think)

For sale here is a Hardy Princess fly reel and spare spool

This 44 Special has nickel silver faceplates
