Hardy Golden Prince Fly Reel 7/8 Gary Howells at the male ferrulesA Hardy Golden Prince 7 8 fly reel with a spare spool. Excellent condition with just a few tiny cosmetic marks here and there. Very clean overall and superb mechanically. Set up for LHW though easily swappable. One screw reversible line guard. Comes with Hardy zippered case and the spare spool packs into a zipper pouch (the Hardy case has some deteriorating foam which laves some residue on the reel when kept inside it).
