Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 1/8" - 1906 Check

VFT8063


For sale here is a classic 3 1/8" Hardy Perfect fly reel with the 1905/1906 check. Majority of leading remains but as you can see, a prior owner at one time had a "moment", thinking he might scratch the finish off the winding plate. Caliper spring is nice and strong and the bridged tensioner works fine. Gear teeth remain sharp. Ivorine handle spins freely and is in great shape. Appears to be the original smooth brass foot, but it may have been slightly filed. Original spool retaining screw is a little buggered but is still easy to get in and out. No cracks whatsoever, just minor dings. No spool wobble. Matching "6" stamps throughout.

If you've always wanted a Hardy in this size, but can't pay collector prices, this may be the fishing reel for you!

Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.

Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop).
