william hardy , hardy perfect reel, 1891 Alnwick, England

hardy's reel was introduced in 1891 and included most of the improvements that fishermen had been asking for: it was narrow between the plates, and deep in the drum, with an adjustable check (within a limited range). It had a 'foot' mounting, and a patent 'revolving ring line guard' which facilitated the shooting of line. The reel ran on ball-bearings and could be taken apart for easy cleaning, unlike its predecessors. This ease of disassembly was the key to the Perfect's success. Prior to the Perfect, the side plates of reels were held together with screwed intermediate bars, and a reel that had grit inside it was a nightmare to clean. The only feature the Perfect lacked was an exposed rim, precluded by the nature of the design - the shot above shows the brass spool recessed inside a steel cage in an early twentieth century example.

We have a winner !

In 1874 Orvis received a patent on a new design in fly reels. Patent Number 150,883 is now regarded as a milestone in American fishing tackle history. The 1874 reel was in some ways a major break with previous reel design. Its spool was narrow, quite unlike most fly reels then in use. The perforations on the side plates, which lightened the reel considerably, permitted air circulation through the line when it was on the spool. As the patent claimed, "A current of air is continually forcing itself through the wound-up line, and all mildew and rot thereby avoided, as under these circumstances the line soon becomes thoroughly dried

For those that don't know the line was silk back then.
