Hardy Perfect Fly Reel 3 7/8" AL Walker Should be a very forgivingA nice Hardy Perfect fly reel, 3 7 8" diameter and set up for RHW. Later enamel model. Excellent, lightly used condition with minor cosmetic wear, but no meaningful issues that I could find at all. Very clean. The agate lineguard is pristine. Duplicated Mark II check which is nice and smooth and the tensioner works as it should. Ebonite handle with a smooth alloy foot. The reel packs into a blue vinyl hard zip pouch.
