I pulled the trigger and got a CCF-C2. What a beast!!! Absolute beauty!!! 🤙

I have a Sovereign 2000 that I bought in London from Hardy's. Caught some big bonefish with it last week.

Beautiful reel

I had one for a bit, on a special rod my uncle had made for me after my father's passing. The rod is beautiful Epic glass blank 7' 3wt, the grip has a cut out with some of fathers ashes in it epoxied over, its incredible. The reel seat is a piece of stunning hickory that was turned down from a log harvested off of my father's land. The perfect creek rod for some of the smaller streams in Missouri my father and I loved fishing together. The reel is beautiful the highest quality piece of fishing gear I have ever had. Sadly, it has been missing for about 8 months. I'm heartbroken its gone and I haven't fished that rod since I lost the reel it doesn't feel complete, like something is missing and that breaks my heart to think about missing my dad in the same way. I have never lost a rod or reel or any piece of significant fishing gear in my life I can't believe of all things it was this reel. I have searched in every bag, pocket, vehicle space countless times. I hope to have one again one day. I can't recommend this reel enough beautiful piece of work. Cheers, Jeff

Fantastic classic reel. It facilitates palming method, spool rim is wide and smooth.

Have you ever used red amnesia as a shooting line? Im curious as its a much, much cheaper option here in the UK

😕 "promosm"

How much?..

What's the price?..

Hi there, I can assure you. You’ve got the real deal… magnificent reel. I knew it’s maker through my father in law. And I even had the pleasure of fishing together with this legend. He was an absolute genius engineer.

I just picked up an 11/12 Salmon with an extra spool brand new. Numbered 084. I know it’s an early model so I hope it holds up as I plan to put her to use on my spey rods.

Cool test! I have the same OPST lazer 50 lb, and Rio Slickshooter 35lb for a two-handed surf rod with a shooting head system. I know it's a different application than steelhead spey casting, but the Rio straightens out much much better (as your video showed) and the OPST is unusable for me as I can't get the memory out even after trying multiple times to stretch it out. And this is at temps around 50-65 deg F.

I can’t access your website 😢

Awesome review 👌🏻

You cant beat classic click and pawl Hardy reels.

You think a 3 1/2" would be good on a 10ft 9" 2wt? :)

I knew a fly fishing gear reseller (he's now retired), and he once told me the Sovereign series was the best reel Hardy ever made. And, this dude saw PLENTY of gear, both vintage and modern. Classic Hardy sound, modern drag system - pretty cool. My knock on these Sovereign reels is sizing; as were many reels back in those days, the reel sizing (to me) was understated. I have on of these Sovereigns in a 7/8, and it really is sized for a 5/6. The 'small' handle on the reel is pretty consistent with what Hardy used on reels in the late 80's/early 90's. My Sage 506 (made by Hardy) has a handle very similarly sized to the Sovereigns. The handles on the Lightweight series reels were/are also very small. By the way, not dissing your Perfect and Bougle, but check out Thompson reels (vintage) - a Hardy Perfect on steroids. It has the gear/pawl system like the Perfect, but it also has an adjustable drum drag, as well. Very similar appearance to the Perfect.

Will a trangia 27 nest in this?

'Promo sm' 😎

Nice whitey, lol, on the Bougle

What size reel is used.

Those reels are beautiful.

hey just commented on your other video from a few months ago. looking to pair a 3 and 3/4 bougle with a 4 wt trout spey rod, do you think that is a good combo?

that sound gives me goose bumps. what size rod reel are you using? looking at getting a 4wt switch and pairing it with a bougle 3and3/4 size reel

I purchased the 3 1/4, the Olympia and the recently released 3 1/2 inch version. It´s just perfect for trout spey. Awesome reels. But whats the purpose of this rotating pillar?

Hey, I like your personality and this was an idea for a video that I had as well and I think you did it well.

No way thats not the best reel of hardy ...look like à shep look of à marquis ...lol for me the perfect ..is by far the best reel of hardy and the 1912 click version Will be the best they evermade

Beautiful reel. Thanks for sharing.

so far, after a while, how do you like the reel? It seems that the spool has holes on the outer rim (unlike Perfect). Is it convenient to palm it? Is the winding hand changeable? cannot find the info.

On the ccfx can you change it from left to right hand?

very helpful video

Wow, I assume when you were talking about those parts flying off on you twice while fishing, they were lost to the river, and you had to end your trip right then. I mean, if you're standing in current and that happens to you, it's game over, right? Unless you've got a spare reel. Imagine that happening on a back country trip, or on any trip for that matter. I would probably start crying if that happened to me on an extended trip out in the middle of nowhere.

The sound of Tibor reels is by far the best. Incoming and outgoing :)

Very interesting video and good advice

Is it the 3 1/8" ?

not being able to take the drag apart would only make sense for the saltwater reels that have a sealed drag .

Regarding the cracks: Is it cast or machined?

The best reels are either a Hardy click check or Billy Pate as both these reels are easy to take apart with minimum parts to go wrong.

Wich size are you using?

Hi ... Super honest review - thanks. Tommy, Denmark.

Looking at getting a new Nautilus reel. Would the X Max work for freshwater salmon fishing?

Hi, When you set the drag at it’s lightest and you spin the reel, how many turns can you make with the Force by applying a normal amount of spin force ?

Is the line guide of the new one really rotating?

Best reel

It's beautiful nice video very good fishing

You're doing the Lord's work! 😅

get rid of the music please, no need for it

Great movie with tense moments. It is not always easy to catch the fish of your dreams. Thanks for sharing.

I bought the XL same as you. I actually use a 8wt line for saltwater and I got about 125 yards of backing.

Great video showcasing both in one place. Thanks for making this.
