Product Description
Hardy 1451716 Large Handle Cup - St. Andrew
Product Description
Restore the winding precision and finish of your heavy-duty vintage reel with the Hardy 1451716 Large Handle Cup. This genuine replacement component is custom-engineered for the Hardy St. Andrew, the largest model in the classic Lightweight series.
Unlike the standard handle cups found on the smaller trout reels (which use part #1333885), this "Large" variation is sized specifically to accommodate the substantial handle assembly of the St. Andrew. Sitting flush against the spool face, the cup acts as a protective bearing seat for the handle knob, preventing friction and wear on the spool's finish during the long, powerful winding sessions required for salmon and steelhead fishing.
Compatibility
This part is precision-manufactured for the following Hardy Lightweight series model:
-
Hardy St. Andrew (4 1/8" Diameter)

Maintenance Recommendation
The handle assembly endures constant rotation and exposure to the elements. 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 advanced ceramic formula prevents the ingress of grit and water, protecting the cup face from wear and corrosion.
Technical Reference
