Hardy Golden Prince Fly Reel 5/6 8'7" The swiss-style ferrules are semi-truncatedA nice Hardy Golden Prince 5 6 fly reel, 3" in diameter and set up for LHW. Good used condition with cosmetic wear throughout and the initials "GCA" engraved on the backplate. Mechanically the reel is just fine. The nickel silver line guard is reversible. The reel has a nice loud click and the drag is adjusted via a dial on the backplate. The reel packs into a non original leather and canvas pouch.
