Now you could be in luck. Hardy are bringing this reel back in lighter material in both LH & RH formats.Originally Posted by greendrake
Keep checking on their site. I think a launch is eminent.

Not quite the same appeal though for me. The new reels with their anodized finish just can't compare to the soft worn patina of the old leaded reels.And the old reels with their red or brown agate line guards( as opposed to the smoke gray they use now) just look sooooooo right on a bamboo rod.Being an old fart I imagine it probably has as much to do with nostalgia as well.

Yep, thats true Will. Theres something about those old Hardys that the new ones just cannot bring...and I think you have nailed it with the patina remark. Although not as appealing to collectors I like them weathered (not abused but used)...the more the better...Originally Posted by greendrake

I'm still looking for a sharpes of Aberdeen "Trout" model reel , should have bought one in 2000 when they still made the reel. I bought the "Don" model and I just love it for steehead fishing, wish I had bought the 3 3/8 trout model back then as well
