Hi Everyone,
Some time ago I bought a batch of spare reel spools. Several matched Hardy Marquis reels I own and these were also included and don't fit my reels. I thought they might be for Hardy lightweights. The small spools are 2.5" in diameter and the two different larger spools are 2 7/8" in diameter. I would like some help with identifying what they fit so I can trade or sell them to someone who can use them. Thanks for any help.
Mike

#2Those images are pretty small, and won't zoom in when they are viewed so it's hard to see any detail.

#6Thanks Mike,
Those top two certainly look like Featherweight and Lightweight spools. The only way to be absolutely certain is to try them on the correct reel.
For decades I bought mainly Hardy Marquis reels because I liked the exposed rim on the spool. Recently I have acquired a few old Flyweights, Featherweights and Lightweights, realising that I don't really need rim control in small streams.
Best wishes.
Paul.

#7After doing some more digging I think the three spools may be for the Heddon reels (310,320) that are Hardy clones. I still have no idea on the fully vented spool.

#8I thought that one of the spools looked green! The secret to identifying the spool ported on both sides is the riveted handle and the porting on the back side. I'm sorry, but I can't help beyond that.
