The six rivers recognised by this Limited Edition reel will be the Tweed, Tay, Spey, Dee, Gaula and Alta. Each
river will have just 100 individually engraved and serial numbered
reels.
Each reel is hand built in the original factory built by the
Hardy family in
the mid 1960’s and home to
some of the finest fishing tackle ever made!
Ever
since Forster Hardy was first granted a full patent for the Perfect
reel design in 1889, Hardy’s skilled craftsmen, engineers, product
developers and angling consultants have been constantly striving for
ways to improve on perfection, tweaking and adjusting these reels to
bring you what they believe are the best reels in their class to date.
And this version is no different with a host of new and unique features,
some new and some harking back to innovations from the past.
Each of the
Perfect Rivers Series will be fitted with
dual
polished nickel rotating line guards to prevent line wear and allow the
reel to be used either right hand wind or left hand as preferred. An
ambidextrous, fully adjustable click check mechanism using an improved
version of the time proven 1972 central line check system can be found
on these limited edition Perfects, which works by lengthening the
regulator spring wire to increase the range of resistance means you can
easily set the reel up to suit your individual need, whilst retaining
that traditional ‘Hardy sound’ that every reel manufacturer has been
trying to replicate for the past 100 years or more.
The
frame and spool of each reel is engineered and hand crafted from bar
stock 6061 aluminium, deep anodised for strength and durability with a
polished gunmetal grey finish, and at the heart of the reel you will
find a one piece naval brass spindle and stainless steel ball bearings
for frictionless running that will require only minimal maintenance –
built to last a lifetime! To aid in the care of the reels inner
workings, a handmade turnscrew tool made with a matching Ivorine handle
means the spool can be dismounted without marking the finish on the
flawless German nickel retaining screw.
The
standard arbor design and wide spool mean this reel has the largest
line capacity of all the Hardy Perfects, for tackling the biggest Salmon
in the deepest and fastest rivers on the planet! It also makes it great
for balancing out your longer Spey rods too, making for a less tiring
day casting long lines and often big flies in the search for a migratory
giant!
Every
one of the
Limited Edition River Series Perfects will be supplied in
presentation box with a black rigid leather reel case with stud/slit
closure and red felt lining, embossed with the classic Hardy Bros.
‘Castle and Fly’ emblem. Also included is a certificate of authenticity,
signed by the craftsman who built the reel, a booklet on the history of
the Hardy Perfect fly reel, reel manual and care directions plus
warranty card.
