Product Description
Hardy 1329244 Spool Click Spring
The Hardy 1329244 Spool Click Spring is a high-tension internal spring responsible for the "song" of your reel. Located within the spool assembly of modern Hardy disc-drag reels, this spring provides the necessary force for the Spool Click Pin (#1329245) to engage the gear teeth on the spindle. This interaction creates the rhythmic, high-pitched audible alert that sounds when a fish is taking line (the "outgoing" click).
Crafted from high-grade tempered stainless steel, this spring is engineered to maintain its "memory" even after the high-speed vibrations of a blistering run. If your reel has suddenly become silent or the outgoing click sounds "muffled" and weak, this spring has likely lost its tension or snapped and needs replacement.
Product Specifications

Models This Part Fits
The 1329244 spring is a foundational part of the "Large Arbor" architecture used in Hardy’s flagship performance reels. It is a direct OEM replacement for:
-
Hardy Ultralite DD Series: 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000
-
Hardy CLS Series (Cassette Latching System): 5000, 7000, 9000
-
Hardy Ultralite MA DD (Mid-Arbor): All Sizes
-
Hardy ASR Series: 4000 through 9000
-
Hardy MTX & MTX-S Series
Technical Note: This is typically Part #28 on most modern Hardy Large Arbor schematics. Because of its tiny size and high tension, this spring is prone to "launching" across the room during disassembly. Always perform maintenance over a tray or a magnetic mat.

Key Features
-
High Acoustic Resonance: Specifically calibrated to produce the crisp, metallic "Hardy Scream" that anglers rely on for feedback during a fight.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The stainless steel alloy prevents the spring from weakening or snapping due to salt crystallization or humidity trapped inside the spool.
-
Precision Memory: Engineered to resist permanent compression, ensuring the outgoing click remains as loud and clear in year five as it was on day one.
-
Uniform Tension: Provides even pressure to the click pin, preventing "skipping" during high-RPM spool rotations.
Maintenance & Lubrication
The spool clicker housing is a common trap for grit and dried grease, which can cause the spring to bind. To ensure the clicker responds instantly to every turn of the spool, we recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:
-
Reliable Action: Apply a single drop of Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil directly into the clicker housing. This polarized oil ensures the spring and pin move with zero "stiction," even when the spool is spinning at maximum speed.
-
Sound Tuning: For a slightly more "mellow" and protected click, apply a tiny dab of Deuthlon Power Grease to the end of the spring where it meets the pin. This prevents metal-on-metal vibration fatigue and creates a waterproof barrier for the internal mechanism.
