Charlton Signature Series 8500 1.2 Fly Reel

Charlton Signature Series 8500 1.2 Fly ReelA nice Charlton 8500 Signature Series 1. 2 fly reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for LHW. Near mint condition. There are two tiny dings, one on the frame edge and one on the spool edge, but the reel is exceptionally clean otherwise with no other signs of real use. 1. 2" spool width and it weighs 11. 2 ounces on my scale. Designed to hold a WF10 and 275 yards of backing. Characteristic type III glossy black anodized throughout with the matte finish on

along with the Canadian Canoe Rod and Streamer Rods

This reel is a flawless reproduction of the original Tobique complete with highly polished hard rubber sideplates and nickel silver rims

The reel seat looks like a stabilized redwood burl and the nickel silver cap

Condition: Never used

A great display piece

The reel foot is full length and unmolested

Deeply blued guides

suitable for even the smallest backpacks

Sweet at the mid to long distances and throws a nice tight loop

having been masterfully restored by Steve Blake

so you will not find the usual stamping on the pocketed butt cap
