Product Description

Hardy 1403732 Marquis LWT Size 6 & 7 Check Spring

The Hardy 1403732 Check Spring is a precision-engineered replacement component for the Hardy Marquis LWT (Lightweight) fly reel series. As the primary tension element in the classic click-and-pawl drag system, this spring is responsible for providing the resistance necessary to control line payout and prevent spool overruns during a strike.

Crafted from high-tensile tempered steel, this spring preserves the legendary "Hardy sound"—that crisp, rhythmic click that has been the hallmark of Alnwick-made reels for over a century. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring is the most effective way to restore the smooth, predictable drag performance required for targeting larger trout, sea trout, and light salmon.

Key Features

• Authentic Hardy Performance: Restores the factory-standard tension and the iconic audible feedback of the Marquis drag system.

• Dual-Wind Compatibility: Works seamlessly in both Left-Hand and Right-Hand wind configurations by simply flipping the internal pawl.

• Corrosion Resistance: Specially treated steel to resist the effects of moisture and humidity encountered in freshwater and silver-king environments.

• Precision Tension: Engineered to offer the perfect balance between a light "free-spool" feel and enough resistance to protect fine tippets.

Maintenance & Lubrication

The longevity of a click-and-pawl system depends entirely on proper lubrication to prevent the metal-on-metal wear between the spring, pawl, and gear. We recommend Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:

• Spring Protection: Apply a very thin layer of Deuthlon Power Grease to the spring where it seats against the frame pillars. This prevents surface rust and ensures the spring doesn't shift under pressure.

• Pawl Engagement: Use a single drop of Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil on the contact point where the spring meets the pawl. This reduces friction, leading to a smoother, more consistent click and less mechanical wear on the pawl teeth.
