A True Angler's Classic: The Modified Hardy Silex Superba
Here is an interesting find for the discerning collector and the dedicated angler alike. We are pleased to offer this vintage Hardy Silex Superba, a legendary reel that has been uniquely customized for superior field performance.
This model, a versatile size for a range of applications, has been converted to a cageless design. The removal of the outer cage is a classic modification that serves two purposes: it allows for direct and sensitive control of the spool through palming while fighting a fish, and it lightens the reel considerably for all-day comfort on the water.
Further enhancing its usability, the Silex casting lever has been skillfully modified to be more ergonomic, providing the angler with a distinct advantage in casting efficiency.
Despite its storied past, this reel's performance is impeccable. It runs like a top, with the silent, frictionless spin that made the House of Hardy a legend in tackle manufacturing. This is a rare chance to acquire a one-of-a-kind piece that beautifully blends vintage heritage with functional, purpose-driven modification. It's not just a reel; it's a story waiting to be continued on the river.
