Hardy Perfect 3" 1912 check fly reel 5' so it likely came fromFor sale here is a very scarce wide drum Hardy Perfect 3" trout reel with 1912 check system. Excellent overall condition with the exception of the mother of all pillar line burns! While still intact, one minor drop and I'm confident it will break off. No other cracks exist. The smooth brass foot is full length but slightly kinked on one end. The spool spindle fit is good. The tensioner works perfectly. The spool screw is missing. A great restoration
