1333885 B/I-Handle Cup

Product Description

Hardy 1333885 Handle Cup - Lightweight & Marquis Series

Product Description

Restore the refined finish and smooth winding action of your classic fly reel with the Hardy 1333885 Handle Cup (listed in some schematics as B/I-Handle Cup). This genuine replacement component is the foundational element of the handle assembly, serving as the seated base for the handle knob.

Precision-machined to Hardy’s exacting standards (typically from Nickel Silver or anodized alloy depending on the production era), this cup sits flush against the spool face. It protects the spool finish from the rotating handle knob and provides a low-friction bearing surface. Over time, original cups can become dented, lost, or corroded; installing this correct specification part is essential for a complete and functional restoration of your reel's winding plate.

Maintenance Recommendation

The handle assembly is a high-movement area that is often overlooked. To ensure the handle knob spins freely within the cup without grinding, we recommend applying a drop of Deuthlon Reel Oil or Light Grease during assembly. Their formula prevents the ingress of grit and water, protecting the cup face from wear.
