Product Description
Genuine Hardy 10mm Clutch Bearing (IAR) - Part No. 1524928
Restore the heart of your high-performance Hardy reel with the Genuine Hardy 10mm Clutch, Part Number 1524928. This crucial component is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Instant Anti-Reverse (IAR) bearing designed to provide the flawless, immediate engagement that Hardy reels are renowned for.
Your Hardy reel is a precision instrument, and its anti-reverse system is critical for setting hooks and fighting powerful fish. The clutch bearing is responsible for preventing any backward play or slop in the handle, translating every ounce of pressure into direct drag engagement. Over time, exposure to extreme force, water, and debris can lead to wear. Replacing a worn or failed clutch is the single most important repair to restore your reel's rock-solid performance and protect its internal mechanics.
This is a genuine Hardy factory part, ensuring perfect fitment, uncompromising quality, and the corrosion resistance necessary to withstand harsh freshwater and saltwater environments.

If you are experiencing any of the following issues with your Hardy reel, a worn-out clutch bearing is the most likely cause:
- The reel handle slips backward, even slightly, before the drag engages.
- A noticeable "clunk" or feeling of slack when you begin to reel or when a fish takes line.
- A "freewheeling" spool where the anti-reverse fails to engage at all.
- A grinding or rough feeling when the handle is turned.
