Spare spool question

[cingras53]

Does anyone own a Scientific Angler reel made by Hardy in the 2/3 size? I came across a spare spool that looks like it is for a 2/3 but can't be sure as there are no size markings on the spool and i don't have the reel. The spool is 2 3/4" in diameter. I appreciate any input.

Check that, i think this spool is for #4 SA System made by Hardy. What's with the crickets?

It's late August, there are crickets everywhere.

The original SA "System" series were matched fiberglass rods, and (made by Hardy) reels, for line weights 4 through 9.

Since then, they've changed the reel design often, while keeping the "System" nomenclature, so the numbers can be confusing. Mine is a "System 9" so measuring it won't help.

Is this it?

Yes that is it! Thank you Pete!

The item I linked was "sold", so I don't know how long it will remain available online.

It was described as "Scientific Anglers System 4, 2 3/4″ Fly Fishing Reel".
It looked like the attached.
