Hardy Baby Bougle Lightweight Fly Reel 10' as authenticated in the Young

as authenticated in the Young rod ledger

It differs from my later rods by the following two details: there is a wooden lip on the reel seat where it meets the rear of the grip and the wraps are a slightly darker shade of red then the current "may rose" color that I would later settle on (with edges that are also slightly darker)

Slight edge wear to the pewter colored oxidation on the ferrules which are tight and original

but not much - there is a little discoloring to the grip and a little brassing to inner guides - but otherwise in excellent condition

This is not to be confused with ridging
