Use: Trout reel perfect for a #6 line.
For sale here is a Hardy Perfect 3 5/8" fly reel. The trusted Dup MkII check with tensioner working properly. The reel is manufactured without line guide which is a rarity and giving it versatility between RHW and LHW. Leading worn as seen in images. Brass and ebonite handle. Ribbed brass foot. The “TW” marking on the spool confirms it was inspected or made by Tom Willis, active during the 1950s to early 1960. Jim Hardy is said to have contracted 3 5/8” Perfects without line guard in the early fifties so I would guess this approximate period of the reels manufacture.
Condition: Good used condition
