Hardy Bros. – Uniqua 2 5/8

For your consideration is a Hardy Uniqua fly reel with a desirable telephone latch and rare rim tension screw. This is a 2 5/8" diameter reel with a 1 1/16" frame width weighing 4.15 ounces. The ebonite handle spins freely, and the telephone latch mechanism functions smoothly. This features a rim tension screw, an unmolested ribbed brass foot, and a Duplicate MK II check. Mechanically tight. The presence of leading is strongest on the spool face plate. When resting on the table the reel leans to the side but was not noticeable to me when mounted on a rod.
