Product Description
Genuine Hardy 1333826 Tongue Stud, Large
Restore the flawless operation and iconic, crisp sound of your vintage fly reel with the genuine HARDY 1333826 TONGUE STUD, LARGE. Engineered specifically to anchor the click-pawl drag systems on classic Hardy reels, this original factory replacement part ensures your drag performs exactly as intended when you hook into a hard-running fish.
Product Overview
The Hardy 1333826 is a large-sized tongue stud (also known as a click pawl stud) that serves as the critical pivot and anchor point for the reel's check mechanism. It provides the rigid mechanical foundation needed to maintain consistent drag tension and keep the pawl perfectly aligned with the checkwheel. Over years of heavy use, the friction from the clicker tongue can wear down the original stud, leading to a slipping drag, inconsistent tension, or a muted click. Installing this factory-original replacement instantly restores the strength, precision, and reliability of your reel's drag system.

Recommended Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan of your new check mechanism and ensure butter-smooth operation, proper lubrication during installation is essential. We highly recommend applying Deuthlon Reel Oil to the lighter pivot points (like the stud post) and Deuthlon Reel Grease to the heavy friction points of the drag system and pawl. These premium lubricants offer superior protection against wear, corrosion, and water intrusion, keeping your reel perfectly tuned for your next time on the water.
