Product Description
Hardy 1333875 Regulator Wire Keeper - Nickel Silver
Product Description
Maintain the mechanical integrity and vintage aesthetic of your classic fly reel with the Hardy 1333875 Regulator Wire Keeper. This genuine replacement component is crafted from high-quality Nickel Silver, matching the original finish and corrosion resistance of Hardy's legendary Lightweight series.
This small but critical retaining plate secures the regulator wire (tension arm) against the reel frame, ensuring consistent contact with the check button cam. A loose or missing keeper can cause the regulator wire to slip out of alignment, resulting in a total loss of drag adjustment. Installing this factory-specification part restores the secure, precise operation of your reel's rim-mounted check system.

Maintenance Recommendation
To prevent corrosion between the Nickel Silver keeper and the alloy frame, we recommend applying a thin coating of Deuthlon Reel Grease or Oil during installation. Their ceramic-based formula prevents galvanic corrosion and ensures the regulator wire slides smoothly beneath the keeper without binding.
