Was wondering what forum members know about the Hardy reels made in the last three to five years. I have a Hardy flyweight and a Bougle that both have serial numbers that start with the letter J. Both reels were purchased around three to five years ago. I had a a person on ebay email inform me that when Hardy's start with the letter J it means they were made in Japan. Is that true? I though that Hardy started to outsource their reels in the last year. Both reels are at least three years old. When did they start to put serial's on the newer Hardy reels?
