In this video Peter reviews the new Hardy UCL Ultraclick fly reel. The Hardy UCL reel has been specifically designed for those light line aficionados who are looking for a light weight reel with a full cage for Euro nymphing, French nymphing or any of the other styles that require mostly leader from the rod tip. It features a new standard in lightweight design, metal clicker, enclosed line guard and push off spool release. Having fished with it Peter runs through its features and gives his views.

Another beautiful reel from Hardy. They keep knocking it out the park

@richarde1355 2 года назад

Enclosed cage => full cage. As noted in the video, the pawl (what is called the "click" in this video) is made of metal. This is a substantial change from its pawl/gear counterpart, the CC version of the DD (disc drag) line of Hardy reels. I had one of the CC reels, and I didn't have it very long before the plastic pawl (click, using the vernacular in this video) broke and needed replaced. The metal pawls used in this reel should last much longer than the plastic pawls. An added bonus is the outgo sound, with the metal pawl, should be substantially reminiscent of the classic pawl/gear sound. By the numbers this reel would be a perfect partner with my 3 and 4 rods, but I haven't found one in a local shop to check out. I am so close to taking a gamble and pulling the trigger on one of these, without handling one. So close...

Hi Richard! Thank for the comment, and yes, it does make a similar noise to the traditional click and pawl reels. I have the 4000, 3/4/5 as I prefer the larger size to go on my 9’9” 3#, but it also means I can put a traditional fly line on it if I wish… hope that helps!

@michaelmontgomery5767 Год назад

I had the same scenario you described. I wish Hardy would make the CC version our of metal. I have had to replace clicker twice from Mike's Reel repair. Looking forward to the metal one on this new clickpaw UCL reel.

Euro Nymphing be damned - I adore a wide arbour modern clicker reel for general trout fishing because it's fun, and for wild upland fishing because it's less weight in my hiking pack. So far, I've been enjoying the Sage Click 4/5/6 as best in this category, but it's 20g heavier and has a plastic clicker - might have to just treat myself to this completely unnecessary purchase then...

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 2 года назад

Well said!

@DenverSantaBarbara Год назад

This is exactly and I mean EXACTLY how I feel. I'm a dry fly angler, not into tight line nymphing in the slightest, and I love large arbor click pawls. I also fish a Sage click and think it's the best on market...until this due to weight and better pawl material. In other words, ditto.

@davids9549 Год назад

@@DenverSantaBarbara I did the purchase the Hardy, so now I have both that and the Click, essentially doing the same job! Can't say which is better, but they're both so pretty I can't let either go.

Hi there-great video! Question...is that reel quiet when reeling line in and a click noise when line is stripped out? In your video you were reeling line in and the drag seemed silent or was that just special effects in the video. Thanks for the reply in advance. Looking serious at buying one of these for my 8.5’ 4 wt rod. Thanks Rob

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад

Hi Robert, it’s a normal click check, so louder going out and a softer click for reeling in... I love mine..

@robertklauzinski1732 3 года назад

Got it-thanks for the speedy reply! -Rob

@richarde1355 2 года назад

@@robertklauzinski1732 Yep, click in and out.

@fishonfishon7659 2 года назад

Hello, you said that the reel is good for nymph fishing. But i need a reel for dry flyfishing. Bcz i want to buy very short rod, so i can wish on small creeks. So it this reel good for that?

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 2 года назад

Hi there, if you are looking for a very light weight reel with a large arbour for small creeks then yes, this will do very nicely… it’s just a click drag, but you won’t need more than that…

@danfalen7104 3 года назад

Greetings. Good video. Are you saying this would not be a good choice for dry flies?

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад

Nope, you can use this for dry fly fishing as well… it’s just designed so it meets the needs of the Euro nympher as well…

@russyates482 3 года назад

I can run into 20” rainbows and browns on my river, would this be a good reel or would you recommend a drag reel?

@t-jh4236 Год назад

It does have drag. According to the Hardy website it has a Click Check type of drag.

@RKEY530 3 года назад

Is the reel "glinty" does it reflect the sunlight like a watch face and potentially spook fish?

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад

I don’t think so it’s grey metal..

@FishnSkate420 2 года назад

Hi would you suggest this reel for a streamer setup for bass?

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 2 года назад

Hi Joe, I don’t think so as it has no drag… I think you would be better off with a Hardy UDLA with a full drag system….

Hi im like to buy new hardy ultralite rod and ucl reel up to #2 can you describe reel with yours experience and what nymphing line you using .your reel is 2000? Many thanks great videos all the best. Miroslav

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад

Hi Miroslav, thanks for the comment, I am using a 3/4 size as in my opinion it balances a 9’9” 3# a little better matched with a Rio Euro Nymph line....

@rockomiro 3 года назад

Hi many thanks for replying im do have rio shorty nymphing line. Miroslav

@michaellewis7758 3 года назад

Not sure why people use fly rods for 'euro nymphing', might swell use Tenkara pole or similar. Seems little point in using a fly rod.

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад

Michael you really need a rod to do it properly as it’s often the fine balance between hand lining and lifting that makes the perfect drift and so effective. The other reason is just would not have the same feel as you do when holding onto the line. You can feel every little bump and knock as it goes over the bottom along with the takes.... you just would not get that fishing Tenkara...

@steppderek87 2 года назад

What's the country of origin on the build?

@davids9549 2 года назад

They're made in the Far East (China/Vietnam/Korea) - as is most of the Hardy/Greys range these days. Even those few (e.g. my Hardy Duchess) which are 'Made in England' use some components made abroad.

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 2 года назад

Nearly all Korea…

Old ,, i.am still using my marquis no 8 and salmon 2 that I bought in 1972 nothing wrong both work perfectly. By the way you lot, Why on earth do most of you have your reels mounted on the rod the wrong way round. All Hardy reels were set up from the factory for right hand cast right hand wind . Reason is common sense. Let's see who can answer the question?

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад

I too have some old Marquis and Golden Prince reels which I love! There’s nothing wrong with them, and I would imagine some of these reels might be held in similar regard in fifty years time..😄 in answer to your question about right hand and left hand wind.... can of worms... but here’s my answer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vDhjZl8AGdU.html look forward to your comments!
