VFT2887
For sale here is a 4 1/2" Hardy Perfect wide drum fly reel. Excellent working condition, a very tight reel mechanically. While not being collector-quality due to some work having been performed on the reel, it remains a great user reel offered at a nice price. Rotating nickel silver line guard. The exterior finish has been nicely restored to a dark leaded appearance. The steel check spring may be a replacement, but if so, this was done so in a very professional manner. The turks head tensioner works as intended and the spring is very strong. The smooth brass foot is in fine condition and has not been altered. The handle spins freely. The spool-side frame under the line guard has a missing piece but appears sound with no surrounding cracks. This reel is definitely fishable as is and would look and operate great on your spey rod. Get it for a greatly discounted price before someone else does!
