1971
A nice Hardy Princess fly reel set up for LHW (though easily converted by reversing the pawls). 3 1/2" diameter and with a catalog weight of 4.5 ounces (this one has backing and a line on it and weighs 5.8 ounces). Near mint condition bordering on true mint - a few tiny marks on the foot suggest that it may have been mounted on a rod at one point, but I can find no sign on the rest of the reel that it's been used. The frame, spool, etc., are pristine. Mechanically superb with a nice click. Designed to hold up to a DT7+50, or DT6+70. The reel packs into a non-original LL Bean canvas zipper fleece-lined pouch.
