Description

In new, unused condition and complete with Hardy leather pouch, and instructions.

This is a commemorative reel produced for the “ROD BOX” tackle shop in Winchester, Hampshire, to mark 40 years (1965-2005)

The first Hardy Bougle reel was catalogued in 1903, and was, as it remains to this day, a variation on the famous Hardy Perfect reel. The variation was initially requested by Frenchman Louis Bougle, an extremely knowledgeable fisherman and tournament caster who requested that Hardy produce a reel with a good line capacity that remained light enough to balance rods between 4 1/2oz and 8oz.

From this initial request, the Bougle reel has gone from strength to strength and become one of the most famous reels in angling history. Now, 110 years later, Hardy are proud to offer a new variant of the Bougle reel featuring a rolling pillar, reversible click check, naval brass bush and spindle. Put simply, this Bougle reel is sure to become one of the classics.
