Help with a Hardex
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2023 4:08 pm
I have a cute little Hardex reel, which I would like to use.
It will never replace my usual reels, but would be fun to use for the occasional unserious session.
There is a problem with the clutch, which when tightened up, goes from no drag at all, to fully locked.
From front to back there is a little brass locking screw, a brass adjuster screw with a handle, a small steel ?) washer, and the spool itself. The spindle has a slot in it, suggesting a washer or spring with a lug to engage in the slot?
Does anyone please have an exploded diagram, or the know-how to tell me what is missing?
At least, I hope something is missing, I can’t believe Hardy would make a reel with such a terrible clutch?
