Hardy 1912 Perfect Fly Reels - Free Fly Line

Bringing together some of the most iconic features from past Hardy Perfect reels, the '1912 Perfect' incorporates the famous 1912 Perfect check mechanism, Polished Red Agate Line Guard, and a classic pre 1920's narrow spool design.

The Hardy 1912 Perfect is for anglers who want a reel that feels traditional every time you strip line, palm a fish, or hear that first run. It is a classic-style trout reel with the kind of sound and tactile feedback that modern reels rarely deliver. If you value simplicity, balance, and the satisfaction of fishing a timeless design, the 1912 Perfect fits that lane perfectly.

Free Fly Line makes it even easier to build a complete setup without overthinking the details. Choose your reel size, then pair it to your rod and the water you fish most.

*Free Fly Line up to $99.99 value. Please choose from the drop-down list OR contact us with your choice of line. You are welcome to choose lines from RIO, Scientific Anglers, OPST, Cortland, or Airflo.  If line retails for more than $99.99 you pay the price difference. Thank You from the Gorge Fly Shop Team.
