NICE SCORE! What weight is it?
Hardy made reels for several companies. The Older Orvis CFO (with the rivets in the back) were made by Hardy.
Spring/ Pawl aka Click/Pawl is a wonderful sounding reel. Nothing like it!
The drag is no where near a disc.
I had that same Sage reel. I ended up selling it to my brother. The cage all the way around the housing made it tough to PALM the reel and as I mentioned, Click/Pawl is NOT a strong drag.
BUT, drag can be over rated[laugh] EXCEPT WHEN THAT BIG FISH RUNS! LOL
Seriously though, that is a sweet reel and the drag is adequate.
You can reverse the drag by switching the little triangle things. Be very careful when opening it up as those springs have been know to go flying.
HANG ON TO THAT PUPPY! And if I remember right, be sure it is totally dry before storing. I didn't and had a bit of a rust problem.
