Fly fishing Tackle Report: The Hardy Bougle MK VII (MK7) Reel
When it comes to fly fishing tackle, I'm a real curmudgeon. Do you know what a curmudgeon is? An old dictionary I looked in describes it as a grumpy, irritable, argumentative individual with many stubborn ideas. I very much like the description, "stubborn ideas" as I take this to mean I am in favour of the conventional, demonstrated means of fly fishing. Over the years, this "crusty" angler has acquired a good collection of fishing gear, but always find myself returning to Hardy products. Continue to read for information on one of my best-loved items: the Bougle MK VII (MK7) reel.
Fly Fishing Tackle: Main Aspects of the Bougle MK VII (MK7) Reel
Selling for around £429.00, this MK VII is really a considerable expense for many anglers. But, I would much rather have a few items of superior fly fishing tackle than a large quantity of cheaply-priced fishing supplies which are going to fall short on performance at the most crucial time. The frame, spool, and plate of the Bougle are designed from strong 6061 aluminium. Out of curiosity, I searched info on 6061 aluminium; I discovered that it is a powerful aluminium alloy which has magnesium and silicon as its main alloying substances. 6061 aluminium has got excellent mechanical substances and is additionally effortless to weld. Such features place it among the most widely used aluminium alloys for day to day use. So, I was glad to see it used in the MK VII reel.
Fly Fishing Tackle: Other Info Regarding the Hardy Bougle MK VII (MK7) Reel
Still another high-quality factor as far as the putting together of this fishing reel is that this aluminium is polished first, then anodised; this gives the highest degree of protection. Furthermore, if you have got various MK series fishing reels like me, take into consideration that the MK4, the MK5, and the MK6 spools can be changed out with each other. Also, the Bougle MK VII is equipped with ball race made from stainless steel for exceptionally smooth performance. The reel has a sturdy, spinning nickel-silver line guard. The reel's click check system sounds great to my ears, plus it comes with an excellent, wide range. The designers at Hardy have really gotten it right with this reel, even for a demanding angler like me. It easily converts from left- to right-handed winding. This reel's back is held on via a sturdy dovetail fit and also a couple of deterioration-defiant stainless steel screws. This MK VII will carry approximately 225m of line. The reel has a 101m diameter, and a 256g weight.
Fly Fishing Tackle: In Reference to the Design of the Bougle
Over 100 years ago, an angler named Louis Bougle asked Hardy to develop a reel that was light enough, yet had sufficient line capacity to accommodate the lighter rods of the era. From this, the Bougle range came about; it was seen for the first time in 1903 in the Hardy catalogue. The nearly-perfect design has changed little since then, except for a few improvements by the engineers at Hardy. With the look and feel of the company's highly respected MK IV model, the MK VII, with all its premium features, is a decidedly modern take on a classic Hardy fly fishing tackle style. I am pleased to wholeheartedly give it my seal of approval.
