Hardy Perfect Reel 3 5/8" 3-Piece 248 pages illustrated by photographsA nice Hardy Perfect 3 5 8" fly reel. Later model. Set up for RHW. Brown ceramic lineguard. Near mint condition. There are some mounting marks on the reel foot but the rest of the reel is pristine with no signs of having been fished whatsoever. Smooth alloy foot. The click drag works great, the spool is nice and tight, and the tensioner works as it should. The ebonite handle spins freely. The reel packs into a black vinyl Hardy case.
