Maintenance & Installation Recommendations
To maintain the mechanical integrity of your Hardy reel while performing aesthetic repairs, we recommend a full service of the internal click-check mechanism.
-
Lubrication: For the smoothest drag engagement and protection against corrosion, we highly recommend Deuthlon Reel Grease for the internal gearing and Deuthlon Reel Oil for the spindle and handle rivets. These high-performance lubricants ensure your vintage or modern Hardy operates with its signature "Hardy Click."
