Orvis CFO II Fly Reel

Orvis CFO II Fly ReelA nice Orvis CFO II fly reel. Made in the USA by Abel. Excellent overall condition with very minor use marks. The finish is a lovely gunmetal color. Adjustable spring and pawl drag system and the reel is easily convertible to right or left hand retrieve. One sided frame that allows for easy and quick spool changes. Exposed rim for palming. The prior owner has inked the line used on the spool but I suspect it would be fairly easily removable. Reel
