Hardy Perfect 3 5/8" Silent Check 8'10" Palmable spool designFor sale here is a extremely scarce silent check version of the Hardy Perfect from the 1930s. 3 5 8" diameter. Right hand retrieve. Decent overall condition. The agate line guide has two hairline cracks. The ribbed brass foot is full length. The tensioner works as intended. The ebonite handle spins freely on its post. The drag pad is worn (see last photo) and needs to be replaced, which should be an easy task for any reel mechanic.
