Hello,

I just been given a hardy sovereign rod and reel... it's years since I fly fished but im keen to get back kn to it.

It's almost embarrassing as I don't even know how to release the spool from this reel yo get some line on it... anybody able to help?

Many thanks.

Cracking reel to be given. On the handle side there is I think what looks like a small lever, try either pushing in and removing spool or pushing the lever either up or down to release. Whichever way pulling the spool off at the same time as moving the lever.

Why do you want to remove the spool just for loading line, wind it straight on whilst on the reel. Much easier.
