Hardy Bougle Lightweight III Reel 7'5" crisp dry fly actionA nice Hardy Bougle Lightweight III fly reel, 3" in diameter and can be reeled either left or right. The reel appears unfished. A scarce model to find this one has garnered a bit of a following thanks to its handsome design, a combination of the traditional raised pillar Bougle frame coupled with teardrop porting to the spool and winding plate. It weighs 4. 1 ounces on my scale. Gray frame with a silver spool and winding plates. Smooth alloy foot.
