Hardy St. George 3" Fly Reel 6'4" The main wraps are honeyFor sale here is a Hardy St. George 3 inch fly reel with three screw latch. Pre WWII. Excellent condition throughout. A majority of the leaded finish remains. Ribbed brass foot and MKII check. No cracks, chips, or dings. The agate line guide is free of cracks. The tension regulator works as intended. Nice strong check throughout its range and a nice and tight spool spindle fit. The brass foot has been slightly shaped on both ends but remains straight
