Charlton 8450C Fly Reel with 5/6 Spool

Charlton 8450C Fly Reel with 5/6 SpoolA nice Charlton 8450C fly reel with a 5 6 spool. Set up for RHW but can be easily reversed to LHW. Mint unused condition. Exceptional quality and the intelligent configurable design that these reels were known for. With the quick change of a spool you can alter both the weight of the reel and line with appropriate backing capacity, and swap in one of the 3 4, 5 6, and 7 8 weight options. Carbon fiber disk drag system. Type III anodization for maximum

Machined from brass bar stock with a knurled base

As well as being historically significant (if there is a new edition of Mr Atwood’s book it will be included) this is a beautiful little reel

Good used condition with some minor bits of rim rash

Original spool retaining screw is a little buggered but is still easy to get in and out

To give superior strength and structural integrity
