Product Description
Superior Strength and Corrosion Resistance: The Stainless Steel Hardy Bougle and Perfect Spool Locking Screw
Elevate the durability and performance of your cherished Hardy fly reel with a premium, 316 stainless steel spool locking screw. This meticulously crafted component is an essential upgrade for any discerning angler, offering unparalleled strength over the stock screw, and exceptional resistance to the elements.
Designed to replace the standard spool locking screw on the iconic Hardy Bougle and Perfect series reels, this robust alternative is forged from marine-grade 316 stainless steel. This high-quality material is renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, making it an indispensable accessory for saltwater anglers or those who frequently fish in damp and humid conditions. The inherent strength of 316 stainless steel also provides enhanced protection against wear and stripping, ensuring a secure and reliable lock for your spool, cast after cast.
A key feature of this locking screw is its left-hand thread. This is particularly advantageous for anglers who have configured their Hardy Perfect reels for a left-hand wind retrieve. When winding with the left hand, the rotational force can cause a standard right-hand threaded screw to loosen over time. The reverse threading of this stainless steel screw counteracts this force, ensuring that the spool remains firmly in place, providing a stable and confident fishing experience.
