Product Description
Hardy 1333853 Tongue Stud Washer - St. Andrew
Product Description
Ensure the flawless operation of your vintage heavy-duty reel's check mechanism with the Hardy 1333853 Tongue Stud Washer. This genuine replacement component is precision-stamped from high-quality brass, designed specifically for the Hardy St. Andrew.
Positioned on the tongue stud (pawl stud), this critical washer acts as a spacer and bearing surface. It prevents the pawl from binding against the backplate or the retaining clip, ensuring the tongue can pivot freely and instantly engage with the gear teeth. For the St. Andrew—a reel built for strong runs and heavy drag—maintaining correct spacing in the check system is vital for preventing lock-ups and preserving the "Hardy click."

Maintenance Recommendation
To maintain the free movement of the pawl and protect the brass washer from oxidation, we recommend using Deuthlon lubrication products. A small drop of their ceramic-based Reel Oil on the stud and washer will ensure low-friction pivoting and protect the metal components from moisture and corrosion.
