FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hardy Perfects the Perfect: The 1921 Wide Spool Perfect Fly Reel Gets an Upgrade

COLUMBIA, S.C. (Sept 10, 2024) - For over 135 years, Hardy has been the name synonymous with “Perfect” fly reels. Never content, the Hardy engineers consistently strive for enhancements in their search for true perfection. Today, Hardy is excited to announce the latest addition to its legendary lineup: the upgraded 1921 Wide Spool Perfect fly reel. Already celebrated as the epitome of excellence in fly fishing reels, this iconic reel has been finely tuned to offer even greater precision, durability, and versatility – enhanced with a nod to the past, ensuring that it remains, well, perfect for years to come. At the core of this upgraded model is the 1921 Perfect check mechanism, a signature feature that has long been celebrated for its precision and reliability among fly fishing aficionados. This classic mechanism has been refined to offer smoother performance, ensuring that anglers continue to enjoy the seamless experience they have come to expect from the Hardy Perfect. The polished brass/bright nickel-plated revolving line guard is a showpiece and adds a nod to the past when old fly lines would pick up debris and degrade the line guard. While a revolving line guard isn’t necessary with today’s modern fly lines, this added touch is the perfect addition marrying historical charm with Hardy’s impeccable craftsmanship. But it’s not just the mechanics that make this reel stand out. The two-toned anodized finish, inspired by the elegant designs of the 1930’s, adds a layer of sophistication and durability, ensuring that the 1921 Wide Spool Perfect is as tough as it is stylish. This upgraded finish complements the reel’s construction, which features bar stock aluminum and a naval brass one-piece spindle – ingredients that make it a reel worth passing down for generations to come. The 1921 Wide Spool Perfect is available in quarter inch size increments starting at 3” and going to 4” and come in both right- and left-hand models.
