Hardy Perfect 3 1/8" Fly Reel - 1906 Check 8'10" Mark graciously sold me aFor sale here is a 3 1 8" Hardy Perfect fly reel with Hardy's 1906 check mechanism. The majority of the original leaded finish remains. The caliper spring is nice and strong and the bridged tensioner works as intended. Gear teeth remain sharp. Ivory handle spins freely. The original cast alloy foot is full length. No cracks whatsoever, just minor wear. Matching stamps throughout. Minor buggering to the original spool screw but it still remains easily
