Hardy St John Fly Reel 7’5” The first mention we can

The first mention we can find of a "Hunt" model is in the 1953 William Mills & Son catalog

Dave LeClair re-set the ferrules and the rod hasn't been fished since

Extreme temperature and pressure tolerant (model 46 has an adjustable click drag)

there is a "145" scratched into the bottom of the butt cap
