Hardy Perfect Wide Spool 3 1/4" RHW

Hardy Perfect Wide Spool 3 1/4" RHWAn excellent Hardy Perfect Wide Spool reel, 3 1 4", set up for RHW. Nice and tight, no wobble. Great patina and the frame and spool have normal cosmetic wear but no major issues. Metal polished lineguard. Brass ribbed foot. Duplicated MKII check, nice and clean inside with good springs and pawl. Lined with mono running line. No pouch.

Handsome bright aluminum up-locking reel seat over a beautifully figured Spanish cedar spacer

Equal tension with a fairly light drag both directions which will protect light tippets

Original bag and a Payne tube I believe

This reel has a very rarely seen adjustable disc drag that is very smooth

Custom made to fit this 3 1/4" Dingley reel

This rod is about as near to mint unused as you can get

Made to accommodate a WF9 plus 150 yards of 20# backing

I photographed the worst parts of wear on the frame so there are no surprises
