Hardy Perfect Fly Reels

The Perfect. The reel that needs no introduction, the reel that is perhaps the most famous product ever to have left the Hardy factory in Alnwick. A timeless design utilising the most modern technology made once again in Alnwick, England - the Perfect really does typify the Heritage range.

The high quality, agate line guard, the dovetailed reel fitting, the durable gunmetal grey, anodised finish with distinctive ivorine handle all make this one of history's most strikingly recognisable reels. And how well it fishes - fifteen stainless steel ball-bearings give the smoothest of winds.

The click-check in all models have protected the lightest tippets for decades. Perfect really does mean perfect.

FRA's Review of the Hardy Perfect Fly Reel
"The Perfect might just be the best fly reel that money can buy.  These reels have been largely unchanged since their first release in 1891.  They are still hand built in the factory in Alnwick England, start to finish.  The bearings are still all hand packed allowing for the smoothest drag possible.  This is the most collected reel in all of fly fishing and the major difference between the old ones and the new releases is the amount of fish they have caught.  A perfect choice for any angler who wants to fish with a real piece of history."  ~FRA
