Good Afternoon
I was alerted to these on another forum and after a few emails and a bit of research i was satisfied and purchased one with a spare spool last Tuesday.
cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Hardy-Uniqua-5-Salmon-Spey-Fly-Reel_W0QQitemZ320459895077QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9ce5f125
The reel shares its construction with the Hardy Sirrus All water reel that was sold by Hardy Uk a few years back, see:
moorbrooklodge.com/product.asp?cookiecheck=yes&numRecordPosition=9&P_ID=133&strPageHistory=&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=71
The reel arrived today and to my surprise i had wont the custom roullete so no extra charges on top, i was £124.72 for a Uniqua No4 reel and a N0.4 spare spool inc. shipping.
My impressions of the reel are that it is a nice item with no immediate restrictions. The drag is good and i would expect it to be reliable, and there are no imbalances or loose tollerances to cause wobble.
It is a nice bit of machining and looks durable. I can only gues that it does not share the weather treatment the all water as it is finished in a matt silver (and without imperfections which is impressive) instead of the champange colour of the allwater.
The company, Mojo Market emailed within a minute of ordering and thanked me for supplying the requested details as per the listing, a then emailed Hardy north America to check the reel. All in all excellent service and 9 days postage time.
If your looking for a reel (Martin
) then this is probably the best value reel on the market at these prices (especially at 30% of the original Sirrus all water selling price).
