Hardy Eureka 4 inch
Soon to join me is this Hardy 4 inch 'Eureka.' It's in virtually unused condition, and resides in it's original box. Couldn't resist !

Re: Hardy Eureka 4 inch
That's my idea of a perfect reel, simple yet elegant :-)

I have always admired the Eureka reel. One day perhaps I will have one!

That does look very nice indeed. Another reel that Hardys could remanufacture.

Very nice indeed. That would look good gracing any rod.
