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, rotating 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.

Perfect Click-Check: The click-check mechanism can be adjusted by simply turning the regulator wire on the side of the frame, anti-clockwise to increase the check, clockwise to decrease the check. When the reel is not in use, the check should be turned to the minimum setting.

Perfect Revolving Lineguard: To avoid the agate lineguard wearing excessively at one spot, the lineguard has been designed so that it can be periodically rotated.
