A nice Hardy St. John fly reel, 3 7/8" diameter and set up for LHW. An earlier three screw model with the initials "JS" (Jimmy Smith) stamped into the inside of the frame. Duplicated Mark II style check. Good used condition with plenty of cosmetic wear and loss of finish, but no major issues that I could find. Canoe-style ribbed brass foot. Nice loud click and the tension adjuster works as it should. Nice tight spool. A line and backing are currently loaded on the reel. The original owner's initials are engraved in small block letters on the backplate. The reel packs into a non-original suede zipper pouch.
