l have just picked up a hardy perfect 3 5/8"
nothing unusual about that you all cry ,works fine etc , etc ,
the mystery is , it came with a spare spool , thing is the spare is too wide !!! fits in the frame winds on 2 turns that all
this reel is 50's - 60's ,
my question is.....
Did Hardy make a 3 5/8" Taupo type reel , l can only find 3 7/8" Taupo ,or something else
would be nice to know .
l have gone back to the chap it came from , he can't help .
must be someone who knows out there

If it fits the frame and turns it might be deformed?

Re: perfect 3 5/8 wide spool
As the reels were all cast, then finished individually by the reel maker, I suspect the spare spool was not made to fit your reel and is a later addition?Torridge Cane wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 8:14 pm fits in the frame and screws on but sticks out a good 1/8 of an inch
