Hardy Husky Fly Reel Gary Howells Full-length and unaltered smooth alloy

Full-length and unaltered smooth alloy reel foot

The reel weighs ~ 8 oz

Stanley Bogdan designed the reel in collaboration with Lee Wulff

The action is somewhat full flexing and I'd rate it on the medium side of medium-fast

Though marked for a 6wt line a DT5 would also suit the rod well
