MARQUIS #4 FLY FISHING REEL WITH REEL BAG MADE BY HARDY BROS LTD ENGLAND
The Hardy Marquis #4 is a premium, classic trout fly reel precision-built in Alnwick, England by Hardy Bros Ltd. Known for its timeless aesthetics, distinct clicking sound, and bulletproof mechanical design, the #4 is a highly collectible and desirable size specifically built for light trout and stream fishing. Spooled up with backing ready to fish.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Line Weight Classification: Built explicitly for ultra-light 3-weight to 4-weight (3/4 wt) fly lines.
- Frame Diameter: 2 ¾ inches (68 mm), making it a compact, standard-arbor reel.
- Physical Weight: 3.4 ounces empty, balancing beautifully with short fiberglass, bamboo, or light graphite rods.
- Line Capacity: Fits a WF4F line + 30 yards of 20 lb dacron backing. It is a tight fit, and it typically will not fit a full double-taper (DT4) line without cutting it down.
- Drag Mechanism: Classic dual-spring click-check (click and pawl) system with an external regulator knob. It features a polished silver palming rim on the spool for manual braking pressure.
- Retrieve Direction: Ambidextrous. Easily converts between Left-Hand Wind (LHW) and Right-Hand Wind (RHW) by flipping the internal pawls.
