The Hardy 1912 Perfect 2 7/8 Fly Reel brings historic craftsmanship and responsive click-and-pawl feel to small stream trout fishing.

Manufactured by Hardy Bros master craftsman in Alnwick, England, this reel is engineered from bar stock aluminum with a naval brass one-piece spindle.

Configured specifically for Left Hand retrieve, it merges classic early-twentieth-century design with modern handling preferences.
