Hardy Princess Multiplier Fly Reel

Hardy Princess Multiplier Fly ReelA Hardy Princess Multiplier fly reel, 3 1 2" diameter and currently set up for RHW though reversible. Near mint condition with just a couple of tiny traces of use here and there, it could not have been fished much. The reel has some backing still loaded on it and weighs 6. 4 ounces on my scale. Designed to hold up to a DT7+50, or DT6+70. Comes with navy and cream Hardy zippered case and the original Hardy box.

Excellent ferrule fit (size 12/64)
