Description

In very good condition and full working order, this vintage Hardy Elarex multiplying baitcasting/spinning reel is a fine example of Hardy’s post-war engineering. It comes complete with its original box, instruction booklet, and the optional celluloid splash guard—a seldom-seen accessory that adds both function and collector appeal.

Introduced in the 1950s, the Elarex was Hardy’s answer to the growing popularity of spinning and baitcasting styles. It features a rugged chrome-plated alloy body, backplate drag tension adjuster, on/off check button, and a level-wind mechanism—all designed for smooth, controlled retrieves.

A solid, innovative reel from one of the most respected names in angling—perfect for collectors or those who appreciate classic British tackle.
