This is a reel I received a long time ago when I used to go fly fishing with my father. I put it away about 15 years ago, but since my father ran a fly fishing shop, I received many Hardy reels. This is one of the reels I kept without using because I was told they were expensive. *I am also listing other reels. The line is attached, but I think it's old, so I recommend replacing it. There is no box or case. I don't know much about the details, but it is an expensive item, so I will answer any questions as best I can. Please ask any questions you may have beforehand. To prevent switching, returns are not accepted, so please understand.
