Hardy St. George Fly Reel 3 3/4"A nice Hardy St. George salmon reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. Ribbed brass foot with an unblemished agate line guard. Earlier three screw model. Excellent used condition for its age, with some standard cosmetic wear to the frame edge and here and there on the spool and backplate, but no major issues that I could find. No spool wobble and the click is nice and smooth. A very nice model for steelhead or light salmon fishing.
