Stainless Steel Hardy Bougle and Perfect Spool Locking Screw

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.

Key Features:

• Unmatched Durability: Constructed from high-tensile 316 stainless steel for superior strength and longevity.

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The marine-grade stainless steel offers maximum protection against rust and corrosion, ideal for both freshwater and saltwater use.

• Secure Spool Locking: The precision-engineered left-hand thread prevents the screw from backing out during use, especially on left-hand wind configured reels.

• Aesthetic Enhancement: The polished stainless steel finish complements the timeless design of your Hardy reel.

Models This Part Fits:

This stainless steel spool locking screw is designed to be compatible with a wide array of Hardy Bougle and Perfect models. While it is known to fit a vast majority of these reels, it is always advisable to confirm the specifications of your particular model, especially for vintage reels.

• Hardy Bougle: This screw is widely considered to be a universal fit for all sizes of the Bougle series, from the "Baby Bougle" to the larger salmon sizes, including the Heritage models.

• Hardy Perfect: An essential upgrade for most Perfect models, particularly the "Wide Spool" and other modern iterations. It is compatible with a range of sizes, typically from the smaller trout reels to the larger salmon models.
