Hardy St George Reel 3"

Hardy St George Reel 3"A nice Hardy St George reissue reel, 3" and set up for RHW. This is from the limited run that Hardy did in the 1990's with the handsome leather block case. Excellent lightly used condition with a few mounting marks on the brass foot and some cosmetic wear to the finish at the knurled frame edge in a few spots. Very clean otherwise. Charcoal frame and spool with a smooth gold anodized foot. Nice clean agate. The reel comes in a black neoprene Hardy

The ferrules are original size 17 super Z with the logo stamp on the female and are polished

When mounted with the smaller spools it becomes a lightweight

on/off check back button and brass caliper check

For sale here is an Otto Zwarg Model 400 Laurentian salmon fly reel - size 4/0

2" diameter and set up for LHW

The rod weighs 4 1/2 oz on my scale

For sale here is a rarely seen Gary Howells 8' 2/2 3wt bamboo rod

The handle has a crack in it but is still firmly in place and in my opinion not in need of repair

with some small marks on the reel foot
