Hardy Brass Face Perfect 4" Fly Reel 8'6' This is the pre-1932 8-pinFor sale here is a Hardy Brass Face Perfect wide drum fly reel 4" diameter. 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. The frame finish and spool finish has been nicely restored to a dark leaded appearance. The reel foot had some waves to it so we sent it to Bill Archuleta for a straightening.
