Hardy Princess Fly Reel 6'9" For sale here is aA 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.
