No problem Flyman615 couldn't pass up the chance to share some of the rarest reel I've had the chance to take part in. They represent the best of the
best in Hardy history! Thanks!
P.S. For those of you that like the St George Salmon reels so much there's good news! Hardy has made a reproduction of the same 4in Hardy St George Salmon reels made in England. Not sure of the release date but I saw a prototype at a recent show! You'll be very pleased!!! |

The Hardy silent check U.S.A Reel........Just plain rare and a few have been sold as plain Uniquas with the owner not knowing of it's rare qualities. The
difference can mean $$$$!!! Most of the reels up until I located this reel did not have the USA printed in the curved line lettering but you can always tell by
it's unmistakable silent check drag system. Enjoy the photo's and take another read in your Drewett Hardy Book and if you don't own this book, well
you had better track one down to educate yourself on the RollRoyce of Classic Reels. You will learn something new every time you flip through the pages, as I
do.

U S A ! U S A !
Rick, to paraphrase Renee Zellweger, you had me at "silent". Looks like the innards need a good sandblasting, though.

Yes, it is the reel pictured in the book but you can't get a feel of how big this reel is unless you hold it. Unbelievable massive work of reel art! When
you get a chance click over to the Book Talk section. Stefan Duma is going to write a bit about the history of the Hardy White Whickam.
Should be very interesting!!! |
