Saracione SCA Fly Reel 4"

Saracione SCA Fly Reel 4"A nice Saracione Classic American (SCA) fly reel, 4" diameter and set up for RHW. The reel weighs 10. 4 ounces on my scale and has a 7 8" spool width. Mint condition. Adjustable drag and a clever removable sideplate design which allows for an easy spool change or change to the retrieve. Light gold anodized aluminum spool and frame. The sideplates are black anodized. The Serpentine handle, foot, and buttons are all anodized silver. Superb craftsmanship

the reel appears unfished though there are a few minor rubbing marks here and there from handling

certainly nothing I would be concerned about
