Hardy built SA System 11 (4" Marquis)

Scarce SA System 11 and original case, loaded with good greenspot. Seen some use but still very nice/cool collectible and highly functional reel. These split the size difference in a Marquis Salmon 1 and Salmon 2. Been stamped with initials inside which show through light on back as well. Reel has fantastic spring tension / check.. very strong.

Specifications and comparison to Salmon 1

It's not much larger than the Marquis Salmon 1

Spool of System 11 is 4" diameter and 1" width.

Spool of Marquis Salmon 1 is 3 7/8" and also 1" width.

Weighed both reels, each empty of all line and backing so bare bones weight.

System 11 tips scales at 8.3 ounce.

Marquis Salmon 1 weighs 7.8 ounce.

I have pictures of both reels on the scales and a few other shots of System 11. If any interest in seeing them, a specific area, or any questions just contact me at email here: skinnerfarm@hotmail.com
