Product Description
Hardy 1540725 Regulator Wire - St. Andrew
Product Description
Restore the robust drag tension capabilities of your heavy-duty vintage reel with the Hardy 1540725 Regulator Wire. This genuine replacement component is custom-engineered for the Hardy St. Andrew, the largest and most powerful reel in the Lightweight series.
Unlike the smaller wires found in the LRH or Princess models, this specific tension arm is designed to bridge the wider gap of the 4 1/8" frame. It acts as the critical interface between the external regulator button and the heavy-duty check spring. Installing this factory-correct wire ensures your reel maintains its ability to apply consistent, adjustable braking pressure—essential for managing the powerful runs of salmon, steelhead, or large trout.

Maintenance Recommendation
