Product Description
Upgrade Your Classic Hardy Reel with a Durable Aftermarket Stainless Steel Pawl (Small) AKA 1333869
Breathe new life into your treasured Hardy fly reel with this high-quality, aftermarket small stainless steel pawl. Precision-engineered to restore the crisp, audible click and reliable drag engagement of Hardy's iconic click-and-pawl system, this essential component offers a robust and long-lasting alternative to the original factory part.
At the heart of your reel's classic sound and functionality, the pawl is the critical component that engages with the gear wheel, providing the necessary resistance for line payout and creating the timeless "Hardy sound." A worn or damaged pawl can lead to a mushy feel, inconsistent drag, or a complete failure of the check mechanism. This aftermarket replacement ensures your reel performs flawlessly when that trophy fish takes the line.

-
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: 302 stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion from both freshwater and saltwater, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.
-
High Strength and Durability: This tough and resilient material resists wear and deformation, maintaining its precise shape for consistent engagement with the reel's mechanics.
