Hardy Lightweight Fly Reel HL Leonard Taking up from the mid-1930sA Hardy Lightweight fly reel, 3 3 16" diameter and currently set up for RHW though easily convertible. Two screw model. This is an unusual model made with a solid unventilated spool, which I have only seen one or two of before (An early version from Hardy?). Good condition with normal cosmetic wear throughout and some finish loss to the frame edges, but no major issues of note. Ribbed alloy foot. Ebonite handle. Mechanically, the reel is excellent. No
