This is a good example of the Hardy Brothers, 'Exalta', MkII, Fixed Spoll or Stationary Drum Reel

The MkII was a development of the MkI, in that it became Ambidextrous. You will find a raised cap on the right hand side of the body allowing the winding handle to be transferred.

The reel is in good working order. It has a few marks and scars to the exterior finish. These are from use rather than abuse.

It has an alloy spool and single span clutch adjuster.
