The Hardy Perfect Taupo reel was added to the historical Perfect series to accomodate trout anglers seeking the mammoth fish of New Zealand and Argentina.  Made to this day in Alnwick, England, the Perfect Taupo is fully machined and hard anodized for durability.  The dimensions, aesthetics and click pawl drag are true to the original model.  Unlike the trout and salmon models, the Pefect Taupo does not have an agate line guide.  Color: gunmetal grey
