Hardy Salmon Bougle MKIV 4" Fly Reel Marc Aroner All of the original leading

All of the original leading has worn off

It differs from my later rods by the following two details: there is a wooden lip on the reel seat where it meets the rear of the grip and the wraps are a slightly darker shade of red then the current "may rose" color that I would later settle on (with edges that are also slightly darker)

Cork fighting butt 2 1/2" in length

The script remains clean and bold except for a bit of wear to the serial number on the butt section

Scarce left hand retrieve
