Hardy Perfect Taupo Fly Reel 3 7/8" 8'5" The 6" cigar grip isA nice Hardy Perfect Taupo fly reel, 3 7 8" diameter and set up for LHW (though switchable). This is the modern re issue of this rare early model. Near mint condition with some very faint mounting marks on the reel foot, but I could find no other signs of use anywhere else on the reel. It may have been fitted to a rod and loaded with backing, but I doubt it's been fished. Frost gray frame and spool with an ivorine style handle and a smooth alloy foot.
