Mikesreel
Sorry, folks, this reel has SOLD! Heres a real jem of an old fly reel. the Hardy Perfect. This reel has a spool that measures 7/8 across and is about 1/8 deep at the flanges. The reel is in great condition for its age and has no cracks or dents that we can see. On the face of the spool reads Pat. Nos. 24245 & 9261, Duplicated Mark II, Made by Hardy Bros. Ltd, Alnwick England, and in the center it reads The Perfect Fly Reel. There is some fly line on the reel, I dont beleive it is as old as the reel. Nevertheless its older line. The spool does not rub and has very little play in the spindle. The black (plastic?) handle is a little bit loose and Im sure it could be tightened up if you wanted to actually fish with this old timer. Reel foot is brass and is ribbed on one side. Foot is straight and not curled up at the ends or been filed off like so many have that Ive seen. Please note that shipping will most likely be adjusted to reflect proper insurance and locality. You will be contacted after purchase. No returns on used products.

Texas pro Kelly Jordon has more crankbaits in his boat than most tackle stores have hanging from their pegboards. But take a look in his boxes of deep divers and you’ll see that the color variations are fairly limited.

A lot of professional sports talk about being fan friendly. NASCAR takes pride in this. So does bass fishing.
