1333855 REELBACK SCREW - S/Steel

Product Description

Hardy 1333855 Reelback Screw - Stainless Steel

The Hardy 1333855 Reelback Screw is a precision-engineered fastener designed specifically for the iconic Hardy fly reel series. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, this screw is responsible for securing the reel back (the frame assembly) to the internal mechanical components or the reel foot, depending on the specific model configuration.

As a genuine Hardy replacement part from Alnwick, England, this screw features the precise threading and head dimensions required to maintain the structural integrity of your reel. Using the correct OEM stainless steel screw is vital to prevent the "backing out" of components during a heavy run and to ensure the reel remains perfectly balanced.

Product Specifications

• Part Name: Reelback Screw

Models This Part Fits

The 1333855 screw is a standard component for several of Hardy's most celebrated modern and heritage fly reels. It is a direct fit for:

• Hardy Marquis LWT Series: Sizes 2/3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and Salon

• Hardy Lightweight Series: Flyweight, Featherweight, LRH Lightweight, Princess

• Hardy Duchess Series

• Hardy Wide Spool Perfect (Specific internal back-plate applications)

Technical Note: Because Hardy utilizes specific British threading standards, attempting to use a standard hardware store screw can cross-thread and permanently damage the aluminum frame. You can verify the exact placement of this screw on your reel’s exploded diagram at www.reelschematic.com.

Key Features

• Stainless Steel Durability: Unlike standard steel, this stainless alloy is designed to resist rust and pitting, even when exposed to constant humidity and damp fly lines.

• Precision Threading: Machined to exact Hardy tolerances to ensure a rock-solid lock between the reel frame and internal components.

• Low-Profile Head: Engineered to sit perfectly flush with the reel back, preventing snags on fly lines or clothing.

• OEM Integrity: Restores the reel to its original factory condition, preserving both its mechanical performance and its value as a piece of heritage tackle.

Maintenance & Lubrication

To prevent "galvanic corrosion"—which occurs when stainless steel is threaded into an aluminum frame—it is essential to use a barrier lubricant during installation. We recommend Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:

• Seize Prevention: Apply a small amount of Deuthlon Power Grease to the threads of the 1333855 screw before installation. This acts as an anti-seize agent and creates a waterproof seal that prevents salt and moisture from migrating into the threads.

• Surface Protection: After tightening, a light wipe with Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil on the screw head will help shed water and keep the stainless steel looking polished for years to come.
