Product Description
Hardy 1329245 Spool Click Pin
The Hardy 1329245 Spool Click Pin is the internal component responsible for the reel's signature "outgoing" audible alarm. Unlike the drag regulator pin (which clicks when you turn the knob), this pin sits within the spool or frame assembly and interacts with the gear teeth on the spindle or spool hub. It creates the rhythmic sound an angler hears when a fish is taking line.
Precision-machined from hardened stainless steel, this pin is designed to withstand the high-speed vibrations of a blistering run. Over time, the tip of this pin can wear down, resulting in a muffled or "skipping" sound. Replacing it with this genuine Hardy OEM part restores the crisp, authoritative mechanical "song" that defines the Hardy fishing experience.

When removing the spool, ensure this pin has not become stuck in the "down" position due to old grease. You can view the full assembly diagrams at www.reelschematic.com.
Key Features
-
Hardened Tip: Specifically heat-treated to maintain its profile against the gear teeth, ensuring the sound doesn't change over years of use.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Built to handle the wet, humid conditions inside a reel spool without seizing or rusting.
-
Acoustic Precision: Machined to a specific geometry to produce the classic, high-pitched "Hardy scream" during a run.
-
Universal Left/Right Hand: Works regardless of the reel's wind direction, as the pin is centered within its housing.
Maintenance & Lubrication
The spool click pin is one of the highest-vibration parts in the reel. To protect it from wear and to "tune" the sound of your reel, we recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:
-
Sound & Wear Control: Apply a tiny dab of Deuthlon Power Grease to the tip of the pin where it strikes the gear. This will smooth out the "harshness" of the click and significantly extend the life of both the pin and the gear teeth.
-
Reliable Movement: Place a single drop of Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil into the pin's housing hole. This ensures the pin retracts and extends instantly at high speeds, preventing "clicker skip" during fast runs.
