Sage 509 Fly Reel (made by Hardy's) 6'4" The grip has been cleanedFor sale here is a highly desirable Sage 509 Fly Reel. This reel was made exclusively for Sage by Hardy Bros. of England. This is the Sage equivalent of the Hardy St. John or JLH and Sage had them add a palming rim! The reel is in excellent+ condition with some grease residue marks inside the reel, some slight tarnish to the reel foot, and a few minuscule marks to the anodized surface of the reel. I've cleaned and re lubed the reel. Left or right hand
