Late Christmas present!

[Bambooflyguy]

Santa/USPS just dropped off my present......3 1/4” Bougle! I Hotsauced it, put on a Cortland Sylk line, then hung it under my first era Granger Deluxe by Hotrodz. Now I need some good weather to play with it!!

You have to be smarter than the reel.....

That's a modern classic reel Steve, enjoy it! (and by the way, you have it one the rod backwards, the knob needs to be on the left so normal humans like me can use it, LOL)

 

[Dave Westburg]

Lovely reel and it's finish matches the granger reel seat.

 

[Mike Monsos]

Beautiful reel as it is, I think they got the handle attached on the correct side, not sure what Ron is talking about.

Hi Dave, I looked up the handle on this reel and they say it’s plastic but we can say it’s ivory! Sounds classier eh? Happy New Fishing Year to you! Cheers!

 

[Greg Armstrong]

Beautiful reel Steve, hope you fish the heck out of it in your retirement!

Well.....I almost got to fish my new toy......loaded up the pram & gear, drove to a local lake that has a great midge hatch. Got back in my truck to park it and the ignition is toast! Frickin plastic parts in the ignition switch crapped out....had to get it towed without even getting a line wet....let’s get this year over with! Happier New Year......

First fishies of the year today 3/8. Nothing red hot but still fishing! I did get one with my Christmas reel......played it on the reel for a bit.....sweet sound!

Out of all my Hardy’s......this is the smoothest, quietest retrieving reel! Butter smooth and the sweet Hardy music on the drag side!
