Saracione Mark IV Trout Reel 3"

Saracione Mark IV Trout Reel 3"An excellent Saracione 3 1 4" Mark IV trout reel. Feels like a fairly neutral bias though perhaps slightly favoring right hand retrieve. Mint condition, in a superb all black anodized finish. 13 16 spool width with a weight of 6. 3 ounces. Perfect for 5 6 7 lines with capacity for 100 yards of 20# backing. A preset fixed gear and pawl drag system for spool control while paying out line to a running fish. No surprise on the phenomenal quality here,

an error on the part of the tag maker that McMonies accepted and used
