    Default Rare find - jump on the chance!SOLD

    I have a beautiful Hardy Bros. of England "The Featherweight" fly reel. Excellent working condition/slight blemishes and nicks for cosmetics. There are 2 on eeeebay right now (I'm not affiliated) 1. $200 w/2days to go 2. $150 with 6 days to go and they both only have 1 spool.

    I'm offering mine, in the same condition as those shown PLUS an extra spool for $OLD shipped w/in the 48.

    One spool's got dry line the other wet. I misplaced my lightweight 3/4 Sage during numerous moves ago and haven't fished her since. Again, she's in excellent working condition and just shows some sign of use.

    I've too many (according to "The Boss") fly rigs and haven't been using them much.

    There's also a nice and original zipper case also in great shape.

    Feel free to email me directly: angeloeugenio at hotmail dot com
    you may PM as well however I don't always get the nofications when msgs come in.

    I'm in the SF bay area however I'll be stationed @ Yuba/Marysville for 5 mos. first week of Sept. Either way, I'll ship her free w/in US @ my asking price. I accept paypal and cashiers check/MO or cash in hand and personal checks after they've cleared.

    Thank you in advance and tight lines!

    Angelo

    Last year, 2007, a Hardy 'Lightweight' series reel (made in England) was $495 usd new.

    I think spools were over $200?

    Well, I thought I'd give this a go on my favorite Fly website and offer to locals and fellow members/brethren.

    If I don't get any "bites" I'll take 'er to eb*y.

    $200 for just the spool?!?! It's like you're getting a discounted spool PLUS the reel for FREE inclusive of shipping.

    Thanks for the info Bill!

    Tight lines,

    Angelo
