Bill Ballan Fly Reel 3 1/4"

Bill Ballan Fly Reel 3 1/4"A Bill Ballan trout reel, 3 1 4" in diameter with a 1" spool width. Neutral bias that allows for reeling in either direction with a satisfying click, with perhaps a slight favor to RHW. Black side plates, with the crank side ventilated. Silver frame, spool, foot, and serpentine handle. "Bill Ballan" engraved into the counterbalance. Good used condition with few major marks but signs of minor but honest use throughout. Should work nicely with a #5.
