Fly Fishing Tackle Synopsis: The Hardy Bougle MK VII (MK7) Reel
With fly fishing tackle, you could call me a curmudgeon. Just what is a curmudgeon? 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 a period of time, this tetchy fisherman has bought a large collection of fishing supplies, but no matter what, I return to purchasing Hardy products. Keep reading for a concise overview of one of my most favoured products: the Bougle MK VII (MK7) reel.
Fly Fishing Tackle: Major Characteristics of the Bougle MK VII (MK7) Reel
Priced at about £429.00, the MK VII certainly would be an investment for some anglers. But, I would much rather have a few items of superior fly fishing tackle than a whole lot of low-priced fishing gear that will more than likely break down when I desperately need it. The frame, spool, and plate of the Bougle are designed from strong 6061 aluminium. Curious, I looked up 6061 aluminium, and learned that it’s a strong aluminium alloy that contains silicon and magnesium as its principal alloying elements. The 6061 is endowed with superb mechanical components; it is also not difficult to weld. These aspects render it one of the most popular aluminium-based alloys for everyday application. So, it satisfied me to know that it was employed in the MK VII fishing reel.
Fly Fishing Tackle: Additional Details on the Hardy Bougle MK VII (MK7) Reel
Another quality feature in the construction of this reel is that the aluminium is polished before it’s anodised, which gives maximum protection. Plus, if you have some other reels from this MK line as I do, you should realise that you can trade off the spools of the MK4, MK5, and MK6 models. Additionally, this Bougle MK VII comes with a stainless steel ball race to ensure extra smooth functioning. The reel has a sturdy, spinning nickel-silver line guard. This fishing reel’s click check system is such an appealing sound in my ears and really has a very wide range. The producers at Hardy have reached the peak of perfection with this reel, even for a pernickety fisherman like me. It easily converts from left- to right-handed winding. The back on the reel is held in place by a powerful dovetail fit, plus two rust-deterrent stainless screws. The MK VII will hold about 225m of line. It weighs 256g, and is 101mm in diameter.
Fly Fishing Tackle: Concerning the Bougle Layout
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. Thus, the Bougle range was born, first appearing in Hardy’s 1903 catalogue. This great design has altered very little since that time, other than a few enhancements by the Hardy engineers. Sporting the feel and appearance of the firm’s extremely well-liked MK IV, this MK VII, having these superb features, is a distinctly modernised version of a customary Hardy fly fishing tackle layout. I am pleased to wholeheartedly give it my seal of approval.
