Charlton 8350C Fly Reel with 1/5 Spool

Charlton 8350C Fly Reel with 1/5 SpoolAn excellent Charlton 8350C fly reel, currently set up for LHW. This reel is 3" in diameter with a 1" spool width and weighs a scant 4. 4 oz. It is loaded with a 1 5 weight spool which has capacity for a WF3 with 150yds of 20#, a WF4 with 110yds 20#, or a WF5 with 100yds of 20#. Mint condition and includes the original green pouch, box, and warranty papers. All black anodized. Very high end machining on this reel.
