Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 1/2"

Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 1/2"A very nice Hardy Perfect wide drum salmon reel, 3 1 2" and set up for the typical RHW. An early leaded finish reel in excellent overall condition. The winding plate and spool are mostly devoid of the original leaded finish, but other than that, and some very minor line burn at one small spot on the frame edge, the reel is in superb shape. Duplicated Mark II check that's nice and smooth. Full length ribbed brass foot. Ebonite handle. The tension

yet able to deliver long casts with ease

The grip is 6 1/4" long and turned to a blunt cigar profile

The main wraps are transparent with the light brown edges with a band of black at the keeper

bright aluminum cap and ring over cork

The action is medium-fast dry fly

The cigar grip measures 5" in length with only light soiling

Ferrule plugs and hag tag

and how the river's unique governing body

Comes in a Orvis zippered case and the spare spool in a separate bag

Serial number 90392

The bluing on the pocketed butt cap and ring and female ferrule shows some aging from honest use

the carbide stripper is black as are the snake guides
