Hardy Eureka 4 inch

Post by AshbyCut »

Soon to join me is this Hardy 4 inch 'Eureka.' It's in virtually unused condition, and resides in it's original box. Couldn't resist ! :whistle:

That's my idea of a perfect reel, simple yet elegant :-)

Having the knurled on/off ratchet nob it dates to about 1951 ... same age as me. I just wish I could say the same about my condition !!! :Wink:

That does look very nice indeed. Another reel that Hardys could remanufacture.

Very nice indeed. That would look good gracing any rod.
