Hardy Model Perfect 4-Inch Wide Reel

The most perfect of the Model Perfect reels.  It's changed very little since its introduction in 1891 and the 4 incher is considered by many experts to be the most classic 7 or 8-weight spey reel ever made for most steelhead, large sea trout or smaller Atlantic salmon.

Model Perfects are machined from solid bar stock aluminum, then hard-anodized for durability and polished to a satin smooth, gunmetal grey finish.  Their sweet-sounding spools rotate on stainless steel ball bearings and are held in check by a time-tested, click-and-pawl drag that's rated as among the most reliable in the world of fly fishing.  Nothing sounds like a Hardy!
