Product Description
Genuine Hardy 1329224 Tongue Stud Washer, Large (HREM010SP21)
Ensure the lasting mechanical integrity of your vintage fly reel's check system with the genuine HARDY 1329224 TONGUE STUD WASHER, LARGE. Designed as the essential counterpart to the large tongue stud, this factory-original washer provides the necessary foundation to keep your click-pawl drag system securely anchored and performing flawlessly.
Product Overview
The Hardy 1329224 (also referenced by factory part number HREM010SP21) is a precision-stamped large washer that sits securely at the base of the clicker tongue stud. Its primary function is to distribute pressure evenly across the backplate, preventing the heavy-duty stud from pulling through or shifting under the intense friction of a hard-running fish. Over decades of use, or during a reel restoration, original washers can become warped, worn, or lost. Replacing this component is critical to eliminating drag slop, maintaining perfect pawl alignment, and preserving that iconic, crisp "Hardy click."

Recommended Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan of your newly rebuilt check mechanism and ensure butter-smooth operation, proper lubrication is crucial. When installing your new stud and washer, we highly recommend applying Deuthlon Reel Oil to the lighter pivot points and Deuthlon Reel Grease to the heavy friction points of the drag gear and pawl. These premium lubricants are engineered to offer superior protection against metal-on-metal wear, corrosion, and water intrusion.
