Product Description
Genuine Hardy One-Way Clutch Bearing (Part #1329023)
Restore the heart of your Hardy reel's drag system with this genuine, factory-spec Hardy One-Way Clutch Bearing. This precision component is essential for providing the instant, solid anti-reverse performance that is critical when fighting powerful fish.
This is not a third-party replacement; it is the authentic Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part from Hardy, ensuring perfect fitment, function, and the restoration of your reel to its original factory standards. The one-way clutch is the crucial mechanism that allows the spool to spin freely when retrieving line but engages instantly and without fail the moment a fish runs, transferring the pressure to the drag system.
Is This the Right Part for Your Repair?
A failing clutch can compromise the entire functionality of your reel. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, a worn-out one-way clutch bearing is the most likely cause:
- Handle Turning Backwards: The most common sign of failure. When a fish takes line, the handle spins backward instead of the drag engaging.
- Loss of Anti-Reverse: The spool spins freely in both directions with no drag engagement at all.
- Slipping or Jerky Drag: The clutch intermittently fails to engage, resulting in a jerky, unreliable drag pressure that can lead to lost fish and broken leaders.
- Audible Clicking or Grinding: Unusual noises during rotation can indicate the internal needle bearings have failed.
